The list also includes 68 TikTok accounts, 44 Odnoklassniki pages, and one Threads profile. Listed separately are 13 websites and applications and 20 other materials, including books, audio, and video recordings.

According to calculations by Podrobno.uz, the July 13 version of the list contained 1,915 items, meaning their number has increased by 142 since the summer.

The materials included in the list are prohibited from being imported into Uzbekistan, produced, distributed, or displayed within the country. Uznews notes that liability is established for distributing materials from the channels and groups specified in the list.

As reported by Kursiv Uzbekistan, the Supreme Court appealed to citizens, parents, and youth with a call to avoid prohibited resources and not succumb to the influence of ideas of religious fanaticism, extremism, and terrorism.
