Media groups asked Uganda's top court on Monday to scrap a new digital communications law which they said broke the constitution and crippled free speech.
The "Computer Misuse (Amendment) Act", which came into force last week, bans people from using a computer to send any information that might ridicule or degrade someone.
It forbids the recording or videoing of anyone without their consent, among other clauses, and has penalties ranging from fines to jail time.
