Türkiye has imposed a ban on Tango, the popular messaging and live-streaming app with over 400 million global users, following a ruling by the Ankara 1st Criminal Court.

Tango ban is similar to Discord and Roblox bans

The ban follows similar restrictions previously imposed on popular platforms such as Discord and Roblox.

The application, known for offering messaging, video calling, and live-streaming services, has gained significant global popularity. However, authorities have yet to provide an official explanation for the decision to restrict access.

The move has sparked debate among users, and uncertainty remains over how long the ban will remain in effect.
