Messengers Blocked in Turkmenistan
Messaging communication services for cell phones, Wechat and Line, have been blocked in Turkmenistan. These applications, which allow people to exchange text messages, are very popular in Turkmenistan. The official reasons behind the blocking of these applications have not been reported. However, it can be speculated that this is due to the fact that these applications encrypt outgoing and incoming messages, making it impossible for third parties to intercept them.
