Service blocking
Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger
Primary websites belonging to some of the services remain reachable according network data, although certain backend services are restricted preventing ordinary operation of the websites and mobile apps. Facebook backend servers used by Facebook Messenger and Instagram also appear among those affected as well as those used by WhatsApp, limiting image and video sharing features. Telegram includes censorship circumvention measures, although users have already reported difficultly with the messaging app.
