TikTok Addresses Access Issues in Northern Nigeria
TikTok has addressed concerns regarding access restrictions to its platform in certain parts of northern Nigeria, stating that it did not implement any such restrictions. A spokesperson for TikTok confirmed the reports of restricted access and assured users that the company is actively engaging with relevant stakeholders to resolve the situation.
The Coalition of Civil Society Organisations has urged the federal government to conduct a prompt, transparent, and independent investigation into the disruptions affecting TikTok access. The coalition emphasized the need for transparency, accountability, and respect for freedom of expression while addressing any legitimate security concerns through lawful measures rather than broad disruptions to access.
TikTok remains committed to ensuring access for its community in the region.
