Egypt’s parliament discusses banning TikTok

The Egyptian Senate is preparing to discuss banning TikTok in Egypt and other similar applications that fail to meet the nation’s safety policies and standards.

The Egyptian Senate’s move to ban the application came after many lawsuits were filed before the Egyptian courts calling to ban TikTok from the Internet inside Egypt, alongside urging Google and Apple to delete the application from their stores in Egypt.

A lawsuit previously filed in Egypt claimed that TikTok promotes clips of nudity, pornography, bullying, and violence in society, and has even become an outlet for drug trafficking and illegal currency trade, which negatively affects society, especially youth.
