The inaugural Big Tech Accountability Summit 2026 is taking place in Kampala, Uganda. Under the theme “Big Tech, Data Governance, and Competition Policy in Africa’s Digital Economy,” the summit will bring together key stakeholders to explore practical and sustainable approaches to digital market regulation across Africa. As conversations around data protection, platform accountability, competition, and digital rights continue to shape Africa’s digital future, collaborative platforms like the BTA Summit are essential for building policies that protect citizens, empower businesses, and foster innovation. We look forward to contributing to the conversations driving accountable technology governance and a more inclusive digital ecosystem across the continent. 📍 Kampala, Uganda #BTASummit2026 #DigitalRights #DataGovernance #BigTech #CompetitionPolicy #AfricaDigitalEconomy #DigitalPolicy #ADRH

Meta’s WhatsApp AI policy is under investigation by the COMESA Competition Commission following a complaint by Adlegal International alleging abuse of dominance. The probe concerns changes to WhatsApp Business terms that restrict third-party AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, Poe and Luzia, from accessing WhatsApp’s Business API, while favouring Meta AI, raising concerns over competition, consumer choice, and AI innovation in the COMESA region. Adlegal is seeking interim measures to suspend enforcement pending a full investigation.
