Regulate TikTok, don't ban it: KMC Mayor Shah

KATHMANDU, Nov 14: Balendra Shah, the mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC), said that Tiktok should not be banned but should be regulated.

Writing on social media on Tuesday, Mayor Shah requested the government to bring TikTok under the rules instead of shutting it down.

He has asked the government to monitor and regulate other social networks like Tiktok.

He said, 'Tiktok should not be closed, it has not only brought many distortions, it was a place for many new entrepreneurs to promote their market, as well as it was a big platform for talents who did not get a chance to show their talent, and it was helping to internationalize Nepali song and music. Now, my request to the government of Nepal is not only Tiktok, but try to monitor and regulate other social networks, bring them under the scope of taxation and develop their own mechanism to censor wrong doings.”
