AdduLIVE is a regional news outlet based in Addu City, Maldives. It is one of the most popular regional news outlets in the country.

History

AdduLIVE was founded on 1 January 2013. Its website was officially launched at the Equatorial Convention Centre by the Mayor of Addu City Abdulla Sodiq.[1]

On 22 October 2015, AdduLIVE's website was hacked following repeated threatening calls made from anonymous callers to AdduLIVE journalists.[2] The International Federation of Journalists criticized the hacking and called on the Maldivian government to condemn the attack and protect the security and safety of journalists.[3] It was later back in the following week.[2] The outlet claims that it was hacked after it published about a beginning of a presidential impeachment.[2]

On 22 April 2016, the Communications Authority of Maldives under the order of the Ministry of Home Affairs blocked AdduLIVE's website.[4] Home Minister Umar Naseer said that it was blocked due to the site being unregistered.[5][6] However, AdduLIVE claims that it was blocked after it published a report about how then-First Lady Fathimath Ibrahim was linked to corruption.[5][7] It was later unblocked on 4 July 2016.[8]

On 15 October 2017, AdduLIVE launched their own mobile app.[8]
