“Tik Tok” website and App publishes materials that contradict the morals, customs, and traditions of Kuwaiti society

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 30: The Administrative Court has set Dec 3, 2023, to look into the lawsuit to ban the ‘Tik Tok’ application in Kuwait to allow the government lawyer to prepare the response.

According to a lawsuit filed with the Administrative Court the applicant has requested that the “Tik Tok” website and App be blocked in Kuwait, pointing out that it publishes materials that contradict the morals, customs and traditions of Kuwaiti society.

The plaintiff stated in his lawsuit that “the Telecommunications Authority law authorizes the Authority to block any electronic application that violates the state’s laws in public interest.”

The lawsuit indicates that the application broadcasts clips that violate morals, and promotes clips that encourage violence and bullying, in violation of the laws of Kuwait, most notably the Child Rights Law.
