    Since August 1, unhindered access to the social networks "Twitter", "WeChat" and "VKontakte" has been fully resumed on the territory of our country.

    This is reported by the press service of the Information and Mass Communication Agency under the Administration of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

    In July 2021, the State Inspectorate for Control in the Field of Informatization and Telecommunications of Uzbekistan restricted the work of Skype, Twitter, TikTok, VKontakte and WeChat due to violations of the law on Personal Data by these Internet resources. In accordance with the law, all Internet resources are required to store personal data of citizens of the republic on the territory of the country.

    According to the information, negotiations with the TikTok platform are continuing. Their results will be announced later.
