COMPUTER MISUSE AMENDMENT ACT 2022 #DYK AWARENESS CAMPAIGN.

HER Internet in conjunction with Kuchu Times Media Group kickstarted a week long #DYK social media campaign from Monday 24 October 2022 to Tuesday 1 November 2022 with #HerOnlineSafety and #ComputerMisuseAct following the Computer Misuse (Amendment) Act 2022 being signed into law by President Museveni.

The objective of this campaign was to share information about the facts, pros, cons as well as raise awareness on the impacts and recommendations of the Computer Misuse (Amendment) Act 2022. This move was made in order to curb the spread of misinformation and disinformation that had stirred a lot of tension, panic and fear that comes with the introduction of new laws perceived to further discrimination and marginalization of already structurally silenced groups especially in Uganda.
