Just before the elections, Tanzanians experienced an internet shutdown with access denied to all the major social media platforms including Instagram, WhatsApp and Twitter.
Kabla ya uchaguzi huo, Watanzania walishangazwa na kuzimwa kwa mitandao ambapo majukwaa yote makubwa ya mitandao ya kijamii ikiwa ni pamoja na Instagram, WhatsApp na Twitter yalifungwa yasipatikane.
