The Economist journalist participating in investment forum complains about Twitter blockade
The Tashkent International Investment Forum has started in the capital. Today it became known that journalists and businessmen cannot tell their colleagues and acquaintances about the forum, as the world-famous social network Twitter is blocked in Uzbekistan.

This was reported by journalist Joanna Lillis (to open and read the link, you need to use a VPN).
“Journalists and international investors who try to tweet about the investment forum in Tashkent must use a proxy server because Twitter is blocked in Uzbekistan,” she said.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Joanna Lillis is an accredited journalist for the British edition of The Economist in Uzbekistan.
Earlier it was reported that Uzbekistan removed the restriction on access to Skype. It is possible that this is also connected with the holding of an investment forum.
However, according to the Ministry of ICT Development, other social networks will gradually resume their work in Uzbekistan. Currently, Vkontakte, Tiktok, Twitter and Wechat are still in the banned registry.
