TikTok has been temporarily suspended in Jordan, the Cybercrime Unit announced Friday.

According to the unit, the decision came after some users posted falsifying videos on TikTok aimed at spreading false news and acts of violence.

The unit stressed that the cybercrime teams are following up on what is being published and circulated on social media, especially with regard to hate speech, incitement to vandalism, assaults on law enforcement agencies, property and road blocking.

They explained in a statement that the competent authorities will refer anyone who commits such crimes to the judiciary.

Earlier, TikTok users reported that the application stopped working in Jordan. The hashtag ‘TikTok’ topped the list of trending hashtags on Twitter.
