"Since social network TikTok carries a greater risk of disseminating disinformation, a decision was made to block this network in the country," said Tural Mammadov, Chief Information Security Officer at Special Communication and Information Security State Service of Azerbaijan, APA-Economics reports.

According to him, there are certain people who have put TikT-ok into a more suitable format for use: "In other words, TikTok has its own algorithm that when you watch a video, it collects other content that matches it and brings it to you, which can direct you in both the right and wrong directions."
