The Social Media tax expected to have far-reaching consequences for the youth who make up the majority of internet users in Uganda. This demographic spends more time on social media using platforms such as WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat.

I’ve called a number of friends on Whatsapp. But they often give me that surprise response. In fact, when I called one of them, he thought it was a normal call until I told him, I was calling over Whatsapp. Now the more important question is how much it costs to call over Whatsapp. That would justify why you want to call over Whatsapp than through the conventional means.
