Around the world, governments have restricted social media platforms, like X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and TikTok. Often it's because of political turmoil, such as protests, elections, or military activity. Other reasons are to combat disinformation, national security concerns, data privacy, or cultural sensitivity. Some of these restrictions are long term and ongoing, while others are more sporadic.
