The so called activist and oppositions won't address the issue of moral values decadency but will focus on free speech! |

Two edged sword Oppression of the masses (why limit it to government officials, are they vulnerable to cyber threat or there are measures put in place to curb it) Why not restrict some adult related contents in the country or work with the company to create laws governing posts about the government? |

Banning X is not the way to go. A government that is doing the right thing and standing by its citizens would have no reason to censor freedom of speech and association. In this era where positive change and innovation are driven online, choosing to ban X reflects nothing but incompetence. |

I thought having women at the helm of affairs is a blessing until Tanzania produce a woman president. Under her watch social media are being restricted. |

Commentor:There is difference between freedom of speech and committing an offense, if they violated twitter's rules, they will get banned.. |

Commentor:posting pictures or videos not appropriate for general public, using multiple accounts with the aim of generating traffic and so on, this has nothing to do with voicing out your opinion |

This X is becoming something else! Ever since Elon Musk bought it, X has been suspending people's account permanently and placing it on read only state. Moreover, they always cite violation of X regulations , which many has complained that they didn't know when that violation happened.....Even after appealing , X won't respond. So I think it's high time, X access to some countries is being blocked . |

TechCapon:So “moving forward” means accepting every GARBAGE from America, abi? China is ahead of America, and they don’t tolerate American GARBAGE in their digital spaces. |

Brendaniel:You missed out hate speech, the use of imagery associated with hate groups, etc. |
| Re: Tanzania Officially Bans X, Restricting Access To Only Government Officials by Brendaniel: 9:23am On Oct 23, 2025 |
Commentor:Hate speech ? Why do you think almost every terrorist group and even outlawed groups in the world have a twitter account? Why do you think governments like the one you are supporting now are banning twitter, because of the freedom to express yourself... So what do you classify as hate speech? |

TechCapon:You're moving backwards, not Africa. China is the number one in technology, market, food today but they never used Twitter. Russia is the number one country in the world in terms of technology and technical skills but they're made regulations on social media including their own telegram, why was America banning tiktok, why is france chasing telegram here and there. This are some but a few you can research on |
