UGANDA-INTERNET-TAXATION

Activists, musician turned politician, Robert Kyagulanyi (C), journalist, Raymond Mujuni (L) and musician Apass (R) are arrested by police before they were whisked away by supporters as they take part in a demonstration on July 11, 2018 in Kampala to protest a controversial tax on the use of social media. - Police fired live bullets and teargas to disperse a rowdy crowd during the protests. Since the beginning of the month access to media such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter, as well as dating sites Tinder and Grindr, have been blocked unless users pay a 200-shilling ($0.05, 0.04 euro) daily tax. In a statement, Uganda's President justified the move saying many citizens did not pay their taxes as they were meant to, and should not "donate money to foreign companies through chatting or even lying" on social media.
