Yes bro, I need the laughs, somalis back home are hilarious, no filter

Does this ban apply to Somaliland and Puntland?

Baning Tiktok would actually save us from ever seeing those degenrate contents being posted there but Telegram shouldn't be banned regardless if gruesome war vids are shared there.

Does this ban apply to Somaliland and Puntland?

Idk so in Somaliland but hopefully they will apply the same rule.

Let’s see what their gov’t say and if they choose to comply.

They may even challenge the legality of this decree.

The end of Fob TikTok

There’re Somalis in Djibouti, Kenya, Ethiopia and diaspora. It’s our time to shine now and get rid of Somalia’s monopoly on Somali media

Also, people may have access to VPN and could circumvent the ban.

I think it's all of Somalia since the central government is the only internationally recognized government.


It will be interesting to see if it applies to all of Somalia. Some regions will probably be upset because it's one of the most effective tools for spreading propaganda, especially during times of war.

True, FGS is the only recognized gov’t of the entire country. But right now, they can’t fully execute their power in those FMS.

FGS will most likely turn towards internet providers and direct those companies to enforce this ban.

Regarding the social media warriors, many of them are diasporas feeding the locals. This will certainly decrease their influence with fewer content views. Remember, Facebook is the most popular social media platform in Somalia, which will remain unbanned and thus have minimal effect. Especially when many will now head over there.

Alhamdulillah, my prayers have been answered.

The internet and its ills need to be limited. The somali social media spaces are toxic and serve no good.

How will they actually go about banning tiktok?

How will they actually go about banning tiktok?

Through the telecom companies that provide the Internet. Hormuud, Telesom, Somtel, Golis, etc.

They need to also ban the VPN apps to put an end to it all.

Does this ban apply to Somaliland and Puntland?

Some of the telecom providers in both SL and PL are also listed in the FGS document to ban them, so it's not really up to those states to decide.
