“Indecent materials” has led Nepal to giving TikTok the boot.

“The government has decided to ban TikTok as it was necessary to regulate the use of the social media platform that was disrupting social harmony, goodwill and flow of indecent materials,” said Foreign Minister Narayan Prakash Saud at a cabinet meeting on Monday.

Nepal is the second country to go for a nation-wide ban of the popular social platform — India has also banned TikTok. Countries including the US, UK, and Canada have banned TikTok on government-issued devices.

Business Insider assigned two journalists the task of scrolling 500 TikTok videos each to tally up the number of ads they saw.

Both reported that around 30 percent of the content was sponsored. Insider notes that’s similar to broadcast TV’s roughly 28 percent.

TikTok’s been testing an ad-free tier for five bucks a month, so at least there’s that.
