What Countries have prohibited TikTok?

Posted on December 3, 2023 By Haley Bennett

TikTok’s global reach and popularity are being severely challenged by increasing limits and bans implemented by various countries. These actions have been taken due to growing concerns over privacy and cybersecurity, particularly in relation to parent company ByteDance and its ties to the Chinese government. The U.S. has been at the forefront of this issue, with a potential ban looming and a recent congressional hearing involving TikTok’s CEO Shou Zi Chew gaining significant attention. Moreover, countries across North America, Europe, and Asia have also imposed restrictions on the app.

A number of countries have invoked either partial or total bans on TikTok. Afghanistan was among the first, with the Taliban banning the app in April 2022 for content that was deemed inconsistent with Islamic laws. In Australia, the ban stemmed from security concerns raised by the Department of Home Affairs, while Canada and Denmark have taken similar measures due to risks to privacy and security.

India, the largest country to implement a blanket ban, took action in 2020 following a border clash with China. Similarly, Nepal and Norway have also banned TikTok due to concerns related to maintaining social harmony and security interests, respectively. Somalia barred the app over fears of terror-related content, while Taiwan’s ban is part of a wider restriction on Chinese-made software.

Many European countries have followed suit, with Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand all implementing bans or restrictions on TikTok. The European Commission and NATO have even prohibited their staff from using the app on corporate phones.

Meanwhile, in the United States, the situation is complex with ongoing discussions about a potential nationwide ban. The future of TikTok in America remains uncertain, with federal agencies being asked to delete the app from staff phones and the White House already disallowing its use. However, the state of Montana’s attempt to ban TikTok faced legal obstacles, including a judge blocking the ban and citing concerns about constitutional rights.

As TikTok grapples with mounting international opposition, the app’s presence in numerous countries continues to be called into question, making the likelihood of further bans a topic of significant concern.
