Somalia Suspends TikTok, Telegram, Betting Company for Promoting Immorality

The Somali government has suspended TikTok, Telegram, and 1XBET, a betting company, arguing that they are used by terrorists and groups that promote immorality in the East African country. The Ministry of Communications and Technology ordered Internet providers to block the applications. The decision comes as the fight against jihadist group al Shabaab is flaring up in the country’s central region.
