Summary
Access to the social media platform X has been restricted in Tanzania following a hacking incident that compromised official accounts, including the police, which posted explicit content and false information about the president. While the government has secured the affected accounts, users in major cities face difficulties accessing X unless using illegal VPNs. The situation is compounded by the deportation of Kenyan activists and the detention of others, raising concerns about their safety and the government’s commitment to addressing these issues.
