Tanzania blocks X platform and sparks anger from rights groups. The Legal and Human Rights Centre calls the ban dangerous for digital freedom. Information Minister Jerry Silaa announced the decision during a television interview. He claims X failed to follow local laws and content rules. BBC reporter Asha Juma confirmed these details from Dar es Salaam.
The rights group demands immediate restoration of banned social media sites. Officials also blocked Telegram and Clubhouse from Tanzanian users. LHRC wants the government to work with citizens on new internet policies. These rules must respect constitutional rights and international agreements. Content regulation needs balance between control and free speech protection.
Digital activists call for international support against the restrictions. They worry about growing limits on online expression across the region. Tanzania must create transparent processes for platform oversight. Citizens deserve access to information through multiple channels. Rights organizations will monitor government actions affecting internet freedom.
