Latvia: Public petition collecting signatures to ban TikTok

A public petition in Latvia is collecting signatures for a ban on the Chinese social media network, TikTok, LSM reports. The author of the initiative, Arturs Babuskins, stated that the social media application was used to “glorify Russian crimes, incite hatred, and divide society.” Moreover, the petition cites data security concerns. Public petitions need at least 10,000 signatures to be reviewed by the Latvian parliament, the Saeima.
