The Supreme Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan has released an updated registry of internet resources, platforms, and digital content officially designated as containing ideas of religious extremism, terrorism, and fundamentalism, the dissemination or storage of which is prohibited within the nation.

According to the latest disclosures, the total number of restricted entities has climbed to 2,057. This extensive compilation encompasses a wide variety of digital footprints, including social media profiles, messaging app channels, applications, and other virtual formats allegedly aimed at spreading radical ideologies.

A breakdown of the blocked sources reveals a heavy concentration within popular messaging applications, with Telegram accounting for 967 flagged channels. Meanwhile, Meta-associated platforms such as Facebook contain 276 restricted pages, and Instagram lists 454 banned accounts. Additionally, the registry includes 214 entries from YouTube, 68 from TikTok, 44 from Odnoklassniki, and a single source identified on the Threads network.

Beyond mainstream applications and platforms, the registry also targets 13 standalone websites and 20 distinct cultural or literary items, comprising specific books, songs, poems, and lectures. Authorities noted that this updating process is part of an ongoing bureaucratic effort, marking the fourth revision to the restricted database over the course of the year.

In light of these developments, the judicial authorities have issued stern warnings to the public, urging parents and young individuals to exercise caution and distance themselves from prohibited digital spheres. The state continues to clamp down heavily on online spaces allegedly fostering ideological subversion.
