The Nepalese government has just issued a ban on the short video application TikTok from November 14 on the grounds of disrupting "social harmony" in the country.

The announcement to ban TikTok came after a cabinet meeting. External Affairs Minister Narayan Prakash Saud said the short-video sharing app would be banned indefinitely.

“The government decided to ban the TikTok application because it is necessary to regulate the use of social media platforms that are disrupting social harmony, goodwill and the flow of indecent materials,” said Mr. Saud.

Meanwhile, Minister of Communications and Information Technology Rekha Sharma also said that the TikTok ban was issued on the same day and relevant agencies are handling technical issues.

According to Minister Sharma, this ban comes from the fact that the TikTok application is often used to share content that "causes social imbalance and disrupts family structures, as well as social relationships".

A few days earlier, the Nepalese government issued a directive requiring social media platforms operating in the country to set up representative offices, pay taxes, and comply with the country's laws and regulations.

According to Reuters, more than 1,600 cases of cybercrime related to the TikTok app have been recorded in Nepal in the past four years, leading to increasing demands to control the app.

Several countries, including the US, UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada, have also banned the app on public phones, despite TikTok repeatedly denying it shares data with China and will not do so.
