Unblock Twitter (now X) for free with Proton VPN

Twitter (now officially re-named X) is where the world talks. It's become one of the most widely used platforms for news, opinions, and real-time conversations. But in many countries, access to Twitter (X) is restricted or monitored.

Why is X blocked by governments?

X is often restricted during political protests, elections, or social unrest, because governments want to control the flow and reach of information. For example:

Turkey has repeatedly throttled or blocked(new window) social media during crises and elections to suppress political discussion.

Iran has blocked(new window) social media platforms since 2009 protests(new window), with short-term crackdowns during new demonstrations.

China has permanently blocked them as part of the Great Firewall of internet censorship.

Russia restricted access(new window) to several Western social platforms, including X following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Censoring X is a way for governments to limit free speech, restrict journalism, and prevent people from organizing.
