On 19 September 2023, Azerbaijan restricted access to TikTok again, due to 2023 Nagorno-Karabakh clashes. According to Azerbaijan's Ministry of Transport, Communications and Technology, these restriction were issued in an attempt to 'prevent large-scale provocations from Armenia,' during the longstanding Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. NetBlocks confirmed the restrictions on social media and communication platforms through Twitter.

On 27 September 2020, citizens of Azerbaijan noticed social media restrictions across an array of platforms, including TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and others. In October 2020, TikTok users in Armenia reported a loss of app functionality, although it has not been confirmed whether this was the result of any intervention by the Armenian government in response to the use of the app by Azerbaijani sources to spread misinformation during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. In April 2022, a spokesman for the Taliban government stated that the app will be banned for 'misleading the younger generation' and that TikTok's content was 'not consistent with Islamic laws'.

On August 21, 2023, Somalia's communications ministry announced a ban on TikTok (along with Telegram and 1xBet) citing the spread of propaganda and indecent content, but the call has not been enforced. In October, the country said it wants to sign a comprehensive regulatory agreement with the platform before lifting its ban. In August 2023, Senegal blocked TikTok following the arrest of opposition leader Ousmane Sonko. Multiple governmental agencies and private businesses have imposed or attempted to impose temporary or indefinite bans on the social media service TikTok due to concerns from the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, national security, China’s ownership and influence, pornography, human trafficking, children’s safety, antisemitism, addictiveness, terrorism and toxic content.
