After four long years, Facebook (now Meta) could be making a comeback in Uganda. The government is in talks to lift the ban they imposed back in 2021. The ban on Facebook happened when the Ugandan government accused the platform of interfering in politics, especially during the presidential elections. After Facebook removed government-linked accounts for being fake, the government pulled the plug, leading to a digital blackout.
