TikTok Suddenly Started Working for Users in Kyrgyzstan
Although there have been no official statements regarding the restoration of the service, active messages from users may indicate that the restrictions on access to the app have been temporarily lifted.
It should be reminded that TikTok was blocked in the spring of 2024 at the request of special services, which pointed to the risks associated with content for children and the need for stricter moderation of materials.
Previously, Dastan Bekeshev, a deputy, expressed an official initiative to the leadership of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) requesting the unblocking of TikTok.
Additionally, at a recent meeting of the Ministry of Culture, Information, Sports, and Youth Policy, Deputy Minister Marat Tagaev emphasized the need to reconsider the decision to block TikTok in Kyrgyzstan.
