 abstract={In Africa, the frequency of politically fuelled internet blockages is increasing. This strengthens authoritarian tendencies and threatens business, for example, in Uganda, where the authorities switched off online access before January's election. This undermined the election's credibility and caused financial losses. Just as much controversy was sparked by Facebook's attempts to restrict content supporting the candidacy of the incumbent, Yoweri Museveni, by shutting down government accounts.},
