From 1 August, access to Twitter, WeChat, and Vkontakte social networks without barriers is being fully restored in Uzbekistan.  This was reported by the Information and Mass Communications agency under the administration of the president of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

It is noted that negotiations with the TikTok platform are ongoing, and additional information will be provided regarding the results.

"Blockages only harm development," - the report said.

For reference, Twitter, TikTok, and VKontakte are restricted in Uzbekistan.  Uzbekistan sent applications to the above companies to move their servers to Uzbekistan.

Following that, on 2 July 2021, the activity of some social networks was restricted due to the processing of personal data of citizens of Uzbekistan contrary to the requirements of Article 27-1 of the law "On Personal Data".

It should be recalled that QALAMPIR.UZ published a journalistic inquiry entitled "All social networks should be blocked in Uzbekistan."

It says that Telegram, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook can be blocked at any time in Uzbekistan, and TikTok and Twitter are already on the banned list.

It should be noted that most of us, even the officials, statesmen, and those who voted for the ban of those social networks use them via VPN.
