It will be “status quo” for the operations of TikTok, a popular short-form video application on social media, in the country for now, Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said Wednesday.
“Wala naman tayong natatanggap na solid evidence or basis for the banning of TikTok ,” Nograles said during the online Kapihan sa Manila Bay forum Wednesday. Like fellow Cabinet member Presidential spokesman Harry Roque, Nograles has embraced TikTok and made a number of video posts. Back in April, the former Davao lawmaker made a viral TikTok dance video in honor of health frontliners battling the coronavirus.
Last Tuesday, Roque maintained that the government have not seen any reason to prohibit the use of the Chinese-owned social media app in the country. He also said the President has not sought the ban of any website in the country, citing his respect for freedom of expression.
