KATHMANDU, Nov 17: The managing company of TikTok, has written a seven-point letter to Nepal expressing its displeasure over the government's ban on TikTok in Nepal.

With the government's decision to ban TikTok in Nepal, TikTok has written a letter to the Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) saying that the government’s decision has surprised it.

After a Cabinet meeting decided to ban TikTok in Nepal, the NTA wrote a letter to the internet service providers and instructed them to block access to TikTok.

After Tiktok was officially banned in Nepal, Ferdous Mottakin, Head of Public Policy and Government Relations of Tiktok South Asia, wrote a letter to the Chairman of the Telecommunications Authority, Purushottam Khanal, and demanded the reason for the ban on Tiktok.

TikTok also reminded the NTA that it had a discussion with government officials of Nepal on November 3. TikTok has also claimed that it has removed 2.98 million Nepali videos that are against the standards. TikTok said that people who create and share happiness through TikTok's platform have been affected by this decision of the government. It has said that the safety of the users is its priority and has provided support to share entertainment and inspiration among people globally.

The company claimed that those who conduct business through TikTok have been affected. As TikTok is a global platform, it addresses content and human behavior that is beyond the standards of social harmony.
