Harvard Student Sues Ugandan President Museveni For Blocking Him On Twitter A Harvard University student has sued Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni for blocking him on Twitter. Mr Hillary Innocent Seguya Taylor, a Ugandan, also sued government spokesperson Ofwono Opondo and the police Chief Political Commissar Asan Kasingye, saying they too have blocked him from accessing their official Twitter accounts. In his lawsuit filed before the High Court in the capital Kampala, Mr Seguya states that he is a Ugandan citizen pursuing a Master’s degree in International Relations. He says that the President and the two officials use their Twitter accounts as public forums to disseminate information about activities of their state-mandated functions and to get feedback from citizens, and therefore blocking him is "illegal, improper and irrational". Mr Seguya says that as a citizen living abroad, he is only able to access information relating to his country’s governance and to communicate to the respective officers through social media. “Before being blocked, I used the same Twitter social media platform handles to communicate my views, dismays and suggestions to the respective officers,” Mr Seguya states. He said after being blocked, he was now unable to follow and see tweets on the respective accounts and therefore “not capable of contacting, replying, liking, tagging, retweeting and knowing the public information thereon or commenting on the same.” He asserts that the blocking of his Twitter handle, @HillaryTaylorVI, from accessing the respective three handles on July 20, July 30 and August 8, was done without giving him notice. Mr Seguya is now seeking an order to be unblocked, and is also seeking general damages for the inconvenience caused. The student appointed his lawyer Male Mabirizi to represent him as he is not in the country.

It is very dificult to go through College abroad without being a Liberal. That is the breeding ground for weak and feeble minded snowflakes. Group thinking, grassroot activism and an eventual destruction of your common sense. I have found the ideology of conservatism and practical Christian living the ultimate to a peaceful and happy life. Richdad 31 Likes 3 Shares |

Should social platforms be legally required to provide access to anyone to contact government agencies, first responders and elected officials? Yet, Twitter as a private company has the exclusive right to determine who it grants membership to. It can deny, suspend or revoke membership of any user for any reason at any time without appeal. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Too much of liberty is been abused...Almost all social media apps have the block button. I have blocked a number of people too and you will be shocked the dimwit, has peeps on his block list That it is a social media platform for the dissemination of news, did not take away the block button. The block button is available to every user (Public or Private) on twitter. He could as well sue Twitter for making the button available in the first place. Too much freedom, begets a corresponding degree of insanity...That is what is happening in the west. 12 Likes 1 Share |
