KATHMANDU, NOV 6 – Popular short video app TikTok has been registered in Nepal, two months after the government lifted a months-long ban on the app, a government official said today.
“TikTok was officially registered at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology last week and we issued the registration certificate on Tuesday,” said Gajendra Thakur, the ministry’s spokesperson, to Xinhua.
According to him, TikTok became the third social media application registered in the country after Viber and WeTalk.
Social media sites are required to be registered and set up liaison offices in Nepal under regulations introduced by the government in November last year.
In early September, Internet and mobile service providers in Nepal were ordered to lift the ban imposed on TikTok by November 2023, after the cabinet made a similar decision in late August. – Named
