TikTok ban night-time LIVE streaming for Nigerians
TikTok has announced a temporary restriction on access to its LIVE feature during late-night hours for users in Nigeria, as part of an ongoing safety investigation.
The social media platform disclosed this in an in-app notification sent to creators. At exactly midnight on Sunday, users received a system alert titled “LIVE Notices,” which stated:
“TikTok LIVE Update in Nigeria: We’re temporarily limiting LIVE late at night in Nigeria as part of our investigation to ensure our platform remains safe and our community stays protected.”
Although live sessions were active earlier in the evening, they became inaccessible between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., with affected accounts showing a *m“No Access” message.
The restriction also prevents Nigerian users from viewing live broadcasts from creators in other countries during the affected hours.
