France Lifts TikTok Ban in New Caledonia as Emergency Measures End

The decision follows the conclusion of a state of emergency imposed to control violent protests over electoral reforms.

The TikTok ban was lifted two weeks after it was implemented to curb the spread of rioting.
Seven people were killed and hundreds injured during the unrest in the French-Pacific territory.
France accused foreign nations, including China and Azerbaijan, of using TikTok to interfere in the crisis.
A curfew and other restrictions remain in place despite the lifting of the state of emergency.
The unrest was driven by concerns over proposed changes to New Caledonia's voting system.
