Tanzania blocked access to X after government accounts were hacked with fake and pornographic posts.
The police account falsely announced President Hassan’s death.
Authorities are investigating the hackers, and Airtel Tanzania was also targeted.
A government spokesman assured the public of cybersecurity and urged calm.
Access to X requires a VPN, but unauthorized use can lead to penalties.
X is a key platform for Tanzanian opinions, but the government is accused of suppressing online dissent before elections.
Recent tensions include barring Kenyan opposition figures from a treason case hearing.
President Hassan stressed preventing foreign interference to maintain peace.
