Uganda restored access to social media and digital platforms after restricting them during the elections. The internet and app shutdowns, including WhatsApp, X, TikTok, and Instagram, had been implemented to control information flow and maintain public order. Citizens relied on virtual private networks (VPNs) and offline communication tools to continue accessing data. The restoration highlights the critical role of digital technology and connectivity in information sharing and civic engagement during politically sensitive periods.
