UCC Restores Internet Access, Warns Public Against Misinformation The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has announced the restoration of internet access following a temporary disruption, urging the public to remain calm and responsible while using online platforms. Speaking at a press briefing, UCC officials confirmed that internet services have been reinstated and are now operating normally across the country. The Commission emphasized that the interruption was a regulatory measure and not a permanent shutdown. UCC also cautioned the public against the spread of misinformation and disinformation, especially on social media. The regulator warned that false or misleading information can cause unnecessary panic, threaten public

order, and undermine national stability. The Commission urged internet users to verify information from credible and official sources before sharing it online. Media houses, content creators, and the general public were reminded to adhere to ethical communication standards and existing laws governing digital communication. UCC reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a safe, reliable, and accessible communications environment while balancing national interests and public safety.
