The Department of Digital Technologies and Artificial Intelligence of Uzbekistan’s Supreme Court has announced the launch of a new section called “Banned Channels” on the interactive services portal my.sud.uz. The move aims to provide citizens with prompt access to information about sources deemed extremist or terrorist by the court.

To use the service, users must navigate to the “Interactive Services” section and select the “Banned Channels” page. Through this service, one can obtain information about materials and content recognized by the Supreme Court as containing ideas of religious extremism, terrorism, and fanaticism, as well as those prohibited from being imported, produced, stored, distributed, or displayed in the country.

The following features are available to users: viewing the list of banned channels, identifying the platform they belong to, and searching for a specific source via a query system. This will allow parents, educators, and the general public to stay informed about dangerous content.

Until now, Uzbekistan’s Supreme Court regularly updated and published a list of banned religious extremist and terrorist materials. As of July, the number of such sources reached 1,915. The platforms with the most entries are Telegram (886), Instagram (405), and Facebook (276). These figures demonstrate the scale of dangerous content distribution on social networks.

The new online service is intended to strengthen public oversight. However, some observers doubt the completeness and speed of updating such a list. Nevertheless, officials emphasize that this step is an important factor in ensuring the country’s security.
