Pakistan lifts ban on video sharing app TikTok Pakistan’s Peshawar High Court lifted the ban on Thursday (April 1), saying no immoral content would be uploaded.
The country’s science and technology minister, Fawad Chowdhury, was quoted in Dawn as saying that decisions would be made very carefully in the future so as not to harm Pakistan’s future economy.
Earlier, on March 11, the Peshawar High Court had ordered the PTA to stop TikTok on the allegation that tickets were being spread indecently in the video sharing app. The decision was taken by the then Chief Justice of the High Court Kaiser Rashid Khan in response to a petition against TikTok.
At the hearing, the chief justice said the videos shared on the TikTok were not acceptable to Pakistani society. The youth are being severely affected. These videos are spreading obscenity. So it should be stopped immediately.
