We have already provided a list of TikTok accounts that should not be viewed. It is available on our website. We have provided this list, and then we will start blocking them. Just a couple more days and we will start blocking them," Bondarchuk said.

According to her, if the content from these blocked accounts appears on other accounts, they will be blocked automatically even without complaints.
