Uganda imposes social media tax to stop 'gossip'
Uganda's Parliament passed a bill for "social media tax" imposing a daily fee of about 200 shillings (â¹3.57) for using platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter. President Yoweri Museveni argued that social media encouraged "gossip", costing Uganda time and income. The law would come into effect on July 1, however, people have cast doubts about how it will be implemented.
