At a recent meeting of the board of the Ministry of Culture, Information, Sports, and Youth Policy, Deputy Minister Marat Tagaev expressed the opinion that there is a need to reconsider the decision to ban access to TikTok in Kyrgyzstan.

He noted that the Center for Monitoring and Research of the Information Environment has been abolished, and now there is no body in the country that can effectively interact with social networks and information platforms.

Tagaev also emphasized that despite the existing blockage, many users, especially young people, continue to use TikTok through VPN services.


We strongly urge you to consider our proposal to lift the ban on TikTok.

He added that the restrictions on access to this platform negatively affect the youth audience, as well as representatives of the creative economy and small businesses who use TikTok as a tool to promote their services and generate income.

It is worth noting that TikTok was officially blocked in the republic in April 2024 following an order directed to telecommunications operators by the Communications Regulation and Supervision Service, based on a letter from the State Committee for National Security (GKNB).
