Officials of the Ministry of Culture in Kyrgyzstan have requested the blocking of the TikTok application, due to concerns that it negatively affects the mental health of children.

In its petition to the Ministry of Digital Development, the Ministry of Culture says it is concerned by the unfettered availability of harmful content and the lack of age restrictions on the app.

"TikTok immerses the user in a virtual world of short clips, and after watching them, teenagers try to imitate several videos, some of which are life-threatening," the ministry said.

"Children's psyche is still in flux, they are just being formed. Such content can cause addiction and negatively affect the emotional state of the young generation," the petition states.

The move against TikTok is just one part of a trend by the government in Kyrgyzstan, which is pursuing ever-increasing censorship in what it argues is an effort to support social and political stability. Earlier this month, the Attorney General's Office announced it was seeking to shut down an independent media outlet on the grounds that its critical coverage of current events is fueling emotional resentment among the public.
