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. #AdLegal #Uganda #COMESA

@musallan Thanks Senior!

Well done @KitakaAziz and the entire team.

This marks a turning point for Africa’s digital economy. Competition law is stepping boldly into the AI era and no market player is above scrutiny. Fair access, fair innovation, fair competition. Proudly Associated! #AfricaDigitalEconomy #CompetitionLaw #COMESA

@DaltonKaweesa @kasim12Snr @UCC_Official Are you sure? Can one seriously respond to a ruling as though it were an ordinary letter? I dont believe your legal department could be that careless. The decision issued a clear directive. It will indeed surprise many to see counsel respond to a regulator’s binding directive

@kasim12Snr The legal department will respond to this @UCC_Official verdict.

Uncle @DaltonKaweesa bikki bino Tata.!!??

Tough questions now arise for the broadcast industry: what happens to existing advertising contracts built around split-screen ads? This is an industry disruptor!! Weldone Adlegal team. Proudly associated 💯

We welcome UCC’s well-reasoned decision following our legal action against NBS TV. UCC has ordered NBS to stop illegal split-screen advertising in current affairs programmes and directed all TV broadcasters in Uganda to abandon the practice. Decision: adlegalug.com/wp-content/upl…

BREAKING: Following a petition by the dextrous & radical team at @AdLegalug, @UCC_Official has today DIRECTED @nbstv @nextmediaug to STOP using SPLIT SCREEN ADVERTISEMENT, including SQUEEZE BACKS & other related advertising techniques during news & current affair programs. #FAFO

We are pleased to announce the appointment of @JacklineNatuku1 as our new Managing Partner. We extend our warmest congratulations and wish her success in during her tenure.

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.
