Censorship of TikTok

This article is about censorship of TikTok by governments and organizations. For censorship by TikTok itself, see Censorship by TikTok.

While TikTok remains accessible to civilians in most countries and regions, a minority — including India, Iran, China (Foreign app; not Douyin), and Afghanistan — have imposed nationwide bans. In the United States, legislation providing for a full ban was enacted but not implemented because of a restructure of U.S. operations. Many countries restrict TikTok on government-issued devices due to national security concerns over potential access to data by the Chinese government through TikTok's parent company, ByteDance. Reasoning for full bans have cited children's well-being and offensive content such as pornography.
