Nepal's government banned the Chinese video-sharing app TikTok on Monday, citing its potential to disrupt societal harmony within the nation. Minister of Communication and Information Technology Rekha Sharma disclosed that the decision was reached during a Council of Ministers meeting. She added that the complete enforcement of the ban will take some days. While the app is aimed at entertainment, at least 1,647 cases of cybercrime have been reported on TikTok, per Kathmandu Post.
