The Ministry of Digital Development has provided an explanation for the decision to limit access to the social network TikTok. The department cited a motivated decision from the State Committee for National Security, which led the Service for Regulation and Supervision in the Communications Industry to instruct communication operators to restrict access to TikTok.
According to the Ministry of Digital Development, the decision was made due to TikTok's non-compliance with Article 2-1 of the Law 'On Measures to Prevent Harm to the Health of Children, Their Physical, Intellectual, Mental, Spiritual, and Moral Development.'
