Jordan announced it was imposing a “temporary ban” on the social media platform TikTok on Friday, a day after a police officer was killed during clashes with protesters that broke out over high fuel prices.

Truck drivers launched a strike last week to protest over high fuel prices in the Arab kingdom.
