[QUOTE="Shamiso, post: 83250, member: 160"] The internet police just confirmed they watch everything you post online to maintain national stability because UCC boss Nyombi Thembo believes state surveillance ensures public order. The executive director insisted during a radio appearance that monitoring helps balance regulation with safety while claiming zero current directives exist to blacklist connectivity before upcoming polls. Nyombi admitted that regulators use risk profiles to assess potential blackouts, but currently, no stakeholders requested a total shutdown. However, he warned that authorities will absolutely pull the plug if security chiefs decide the web got weaponized against the country. Thembo revealed that Starlink submitted the most necessary paperwork and remains close to receiving an official operating license. He expressed excitement about satellite tech solving rural access issues while noting the company geo-locks signals until legal approval drops. He threw shade at the offline app Bitchat, recently released by opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu. The regulator cautioned users not to get hyped thinking this Bluetooth tool makes them invisible, since law enforcement can still track illegal activity. Kyagulanyi touted the platform as a way to share vote data during blackouts without needing actual data. Nyombi dismissed the tech as overhyped while reminding everyone that laws still apply regardless of what app people use. [/QUOTE]
