Tanzanian authorities have continued to restrict access to X (formerly Twitter) for the general public since May 20, 2025, extending the ban through October 2025.
The decision comes amid rising political tensions ahead of the October 29 general elections, with the government citing concerns over misinformation and unrest.
The prolonged restriction has sparked criticism from rights groups and opposition figures, who argue that the move undermines freedom of expression and transparency during a crucial political period.
