Tanzania Blocks X Access After Government Accounts Hacked

Tanzania Blocks X Access After Government Accounts Hacked

Imagine a social media site called X that many people in Tanzania use to share thoughts.

Some hackers broke into important government accounts on X and posted fake messages and pictures.

Because of this, the government blocked access to X for many people.

Now, folks need a special tool to get back on, but that can lead to jail time.

Some people worry because they use X to share their opinions.

The government says it's safe and will find the hackers.

This is happening near an election, and some folks are already worried about the government controlling online discussions.
