"Uganda is one of the poorest nations in the world. In 2012, 37.8 percent of the population lived on less than $1.25 a day."[1] So if you are making $100K per year, this tax would be equivalent to giving away $40K of that for using social media.
Context matters. I don't know anything about Uganda, but maybe different political situation is causing them to use social media more as unbiased news sources rather than discussing dress colors.
If you feel like this kind of tax would benefit you, then you can likely arrange it, on your own, or with a help of some 3rd party and send X to charity for each day when you checked the social media (HN counts right? gov said it counts - so it counts, no discussion).
Unrelated but I think the strategy above is not a good one if you want to spend less time using social media. For me just sitting back and thinking what do you really want works best.
