Nepal Lifts TikTok Ban with Pre-Conditions

Nepal has lifted its ban on TikTok with specific pre-conditions. The ban was initially imposed on November 12 last year for disturbing social harmony. The decision to lift the ban was made by the cabinet on August 22, and made public through a notice from Nepal Telecommunication.

Effective Friday, Nepal has lifted its ban on the popular social media app TikTok, though some pre-conditions apply.

The ban, which was initially imposed on November 12 last year, was argued to disturb social harmony, leading to widespread criticism from the public.

A notice from Nepal Telecommunication, the government-owned body, stated, 'This is to notify all the Internet Service Providers and Mobile Service Providers that the ban imposed on TikTok has been withdrawn.' The notice follows an August 22 cabinet decision that lifted the ban with some pre-conditions.
