The Chinese government has banned a number of popular social platforms from operating in the country.

Axar.az informs that, the new decision suspends the activities of YouTube, Wikipedia, Netflix, Tumblr, Instagram, Reddit and WhatsApp in China.

In addition, Western media outlets such as the BBC, The New York Times, Bloomberg, The Independent, Le Monde, France 24, Dailymotion and The Economist have been banned in China.

It should be noted that India has previously banned a number of Chinese-made social networks (Tik Tok, Wechat, etc.).

Restrictions on social platforms from China are currently being discussed in Western countries.
