Tiktok is looking for Public Policy Manager for Nepal

As mentioned on Tiktok's website, the company is looking for a manager who can study and analyze existing policies and proposed laws, write explanatory comments about them, and coordinate with the public relations management, legal, product and engineering departments within the company . Among the other major responsibilities of the Public Policy Manager is to represent the company in internal and external events to make Tiktok the most trusted brand.

For this position, Tiktok has said that you should have direct experience in public policy, government relations or advocacy work, have knowledge about legislative process and information technology policy, act/law. Other qualifications include a bachelor's degree in political science, international relations, governance or a related discipline, and experience working in a global technology company or international organization. In Section 6 of the 'Guidelines for Regulating the Use of Social Networks, 2080' passed by the Council of Ministers in October last year, it is said that social network companies should arrange a point of contact in Nepal, an officer to listen to resident complaints and an officer to monitor self-regulation compliance. Last year, the government banned the use of Tiktok in Nepal four days after the directive was passed.

Tiktok was banned nine months after the government released it, and the government also placed a condition that 300 youth should be employed in the company, including employees who understand the Nepali language. The ban was lifted after Tiktok was prepared to ensure filtering and moderation for content regulation of Tiktok prepared in Nepali language and other native languages ​​of Nepal . Some human rights activists have expressed their suspicion that through content filtering, the government may remove the accusations against them in collaboration with the platforms, and this may violate the fundamental rights of citizens regarding freedom of expression.

On October 27, 2080, the cabinet meeting led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal decided to close down Tik Tok for playing a role in disrupting social harmony and environment. Nine months later, the ban was lifted by the Cabinet led by KP Sharma Oli on August 6. Just last week, the Nepal Telecommunication Authority had instructed all mobile and internet service providers to remove the ban on Tiktok. Since then, TikTok has started running fully on all devices.
