What a week it has been!
Two legal victories at both regional and national levels against a global tech giant (Meta Platforms)
1. A prima facie case determination by the COMESA Competition Commission — with implications across 21 African Member States.
2. A landmark ruling by the Personal Data Protection Office (PDPO) — directly impacting over 10 million WhatsApp users in Uganda.

BREAKING: In a landmark ruling, the Personal Data Protection Office (PDPO) has found that Meta Platforms Inc. and WhatsApp LLC are subject to Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 — despite having no physical presence in the country.
Arising from a complaint filed by Kampala-based @AdLegalug the decision establishes a powerful precedent: if you process the personal data of Ugandan citizens, you fall under Ugandan law.
