Nepal lifts TikTok ban imposed for disrupting social harmony

Quick Summary:

Restrictions on the Chinese-owned app were lifted after the new PM issued a directive for all social networking sites to be treated equally.

Countries including the US, Britain and New Zealand have banned the app on government phones despite TikTok repeatedly denying that it has ever shared data with the Chinese government and would not do so if asked.

People protest against the ban on TikTok in Kathmandu, Nepal, in November.
