Uzbekistan’s Supreme Court has released an updated register of online sources and materials banned for promoting extremism and terrorism, according to the court’s press service. The revised list, current as of January 10, 2026, includes digital content deemed to threaten public safety and the country’s constitutional order.
The updated register contains 1,593 profiles, channels and materials, the majority linked to social networks and messaging platforms. Telegram accounts for the largest share with 790 banned entries, followed by Instagram with 265 profiles and Facebook with 249. The list also includes 167 YouTube channels and videos, 53 TikTok profiles and 36 entries from the Odnoklassniki network.
In addition, the Supreme Court identified 13 websites and standalone digital materials as prohibited, along with 20 books, lectures and religious chants assessed as promoting extremist or violent ideologies.
The court said all materials were evaluated using established legal criteria, including the promotion of extremist ideas, justification of violence or terrorism, or attempts to undermine the constitutional system. The bans are enforced under provisions of the Criminal Code governing extremist and unlawful religious content.
The update forms part of Uzbekistan’s National Strategy to Counter Extremism and Terrorism for 2021–2026, which focuses on limiting the spread of radical content online and strengthening state capacity to counter digital recruitment and propaganda.
Kursiv Uzbekistan also reports that International logistics provider Gebruder Weiss has strengthened its footprint in Uzbekistan by upgrading its Tashkent representative office to a full national organisation.
