“Tajikistan has ordered local Internet providers to block Twitter, one of more than 100 sites including popular Russian-language social networks starting next week. ‘The (government) communications service has sent Internet companies a huge list of 131 sites that must be blocked in the country from Monday,’ said Asomiddin Atoyev, the head of the Tajik association of Internet providers. The Central Asian country bordering Afghanistan lifted only this month a ban on Facebook. The state-run service said it blocked Facebook because of a ‘deluge of lies’ and ‘insults to the head of state and government members.'”
