The blocked Twitter, TikTok and VKontakte are expected to be unblocked in Uzbekistan. This information was confirmed by a representative of the Ministry of ICT.
In the summer of 2021, Uzbekistan blocked TikTok, Twitter, Skype, WeChat and Vkontakte.
The restriction was reportedly caused by the fact that these media do not store personal information of Uzbek citizens on servers located in Uzbekistan. The law, which took effect on April 16, 2021, set out such a requirement.
delegation led by ICT Minister Sherzod Shermatov is currently in the United States and is negotiating with major IT companies in Silicon Valley.
Earlier, officials had said that the Constitution should include the right of everyone to use the Internet.
