President Samia Suluhu’s government has faced criticism from the Internet Governance Tanzania Working Group (IGTWG) for restricting access to the social media platform “X” (formerly known as Twitter). This move has been viewed as a step back from the reforms and promises of greater digital freedoms that were anticipated under her leadership. IGTWG and other civil society organizations have expressed concerns that such restrictions limit freedom of expression and access to information, which are fundamental rights in a democratic society. The criticism highlights the ongoing challenges around internet governance and digital rights in Tanzania.
