Diab stated that he had already submitted the motion to Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and Minister of Communications and Information Technology Amr Talaat.

He called for the permanent ban of the platform in Egypt.

In August, Ahmed Badawi, head of the House's Communications Committee, said that Egypt has no plans to ban TikTok, revealing instead that the committee plans to draft a law to tax profits generated from the app.

In a post on his official Facebook page, Diab explained his reasons for requesting to ban TikTok, which he described as "the platform most corrupting of society."

He claimed that TikTok plays a significant role in "spreading immorality and debauchery" among young people, highlighting that several cases related to TikTok content were referred to the Egyptian judiciary for legal action.

Furthermore, Diab stated that the videos shared on TikTok "violate Egyptian customs, traditions, and values, corrupt the young, and threaten the integrity and future of the Egyptian family."

TikTok has raised significant concerns about privacy, security, and cultural norms. 

According to the "We Are Social" report, Egypt ranked eleventh among countries with the most significant number of TikTok users in 2024, with 37.6 million users.

The Egyptian cabinet's Information and Decision Support Centre (IDSC) stated that in 2023, TikTok ranked third among the social media platforms Egyptians use, coming after Facebook and Instagram.
