Tanzania's X Blackout: Politics and Pornography

Tanzania's government has blocked the social media platform X, officially due to its failure to restrict pornographic content.

This action aligns with the nation's stated commitment to upholding its laws, cultural values, and societal norms.

The ban followed a recent hacking incident involving the police's account, which displayed inappropriate material, escalating political tensions.

Critics see this move as a troubling sign of increasing digital repression, especially given the proximity of national elections.
