Somalia Bans TikTok and Telegram over Security Concerns

The Somali government announced the ban on Sunday, saying that the platforms were being used by terrorist groups to spread propaganda and recruit members. The ban also applies to the gambling app 1XBET.

The government said that it would take legal action against anyone who violates the ban.

The ban has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have welcomed the move, saying that it is necessary to protect the country from terrorism. Others have criticized the ban, saying that it is an infringement on freedom of expression.

TikTok and Telegram are two of the most popular social media platforms in Somalia. TikTok is particularly popular among young people.

The government's decision to ban the platforms is likely to have a significant impact on the way that people in Somalia communicate and access information.

Here are some additional details about the ban:

  • The ban was announced by the Ministry of Communications and Technology.
  • The ministry said that the ban was necessary to "protect the national security of the country."
  • The ban applies to all telecommunications companies in Somalia.
  • The government has not said how long the ban will last.
