Instagram Blocks Uralskaya Nedelya’s Account Again
5 november 2026
The official Instagram account of Uralskaya Nedelya, a Kazakhstani news outlet, has been blocked again. The platform cited alleged violations of its terms of service related to intellectual property rights.
The latest suspension was reported by the Legal Media Center, a Kazakhstan-based civil society organization.
This is not the first time the outlet has faced such restrictions. In early July, Instagram blocked two of Uralskaya Nedelya’s accounts following complaints filed by an unidentified user.
In recent months, journalists, media outlets, and human rights organizations in Kazakhstan have repeatedly reported having their social media accounts blocked or restricted.
