Millions of people quit internet in Uganda after taxes are imposed

Millions of people have abandoned the internet after a new 'social media' tax was imposed in Uganda - with critics claiming it is restricting free speech and the ability to criticise the government.

Wow!!! Now that's one way of making people socialize.

BillDagg Don’t tell the Dimocracks, they haven’t thought of this yet😅

Next, America folks

Shocking

Let them resort to VPN

And Lammy doesn't want African aid, did he have anything to do with raising these taxes so that these poor souls wouldn't find out that he is the cause of any donor resistance.

Coming to California soon.

Misleading headline. There is more to the internet than social media!

If tax is imposed in India , all will quit.There will be eerie silence as in a cemetery for weeks unless some alternative is found

Pity it’s not Nigeria. That would put a stop to the emails from a solicitor there, informing me I’ve inherited 1 million Dollars but need to give them my bank account details to get the money out......😂😂😂😂

Radical thinking: banning people away from the internet is like saying the cannot have a connection to the rest of the world. I smell brainwashing.

Bet TeresaMay would like to do that too.

Stone age mindset..

MargotLJParker I wonder will the idea take root in the UK? By the time MPs have betrayed the people over Brexit that should go down very well, Political Armageddon anyone?

My government will be ecstatic if they can impose this but this is how mass tax evaders are born . This will come after a major occupy protest . Ugandans take heart

Wow! A social media tax. Please don't tell Hammond😂

We are proud of this dictatorial govt imposing stupid taxes on us.thanks goes to the British govt and USA for making him rule Uganda for the last 33yrs.and we are to continue being led by analog chaps.

Let them cross to Kenya. Do your tweets for free and go back to uganda in the evening.

How the hell do they actually police that? Just use a VPN and problem solved.

Well thanks to DavidLammy no whites will be helping out with that little problem

Prefer the social media companies paid their taxes... :-p
