After 18.00, the state inspection for control in the field of informatization and telecommunications (Uzkomnazorat) limited citizens’ access to Telegram, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Odnoklassniki.

According to the international non-governmental organization NetBlocks, for two hours blocking Facebook, YouTube and Instagram cost Uzbekistan $194,937.

Unfortunately, NetBlocks does not list Telegram and Odnoklassniki. However, it is important to pay attention to the fact that Telegram is a very popular resource in Uzbekistan.

Previously, it was reported that in Uzbekistan, one of the largest social networks in the world is still blocked.
