ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani high court on Thursday ordered the country’s telecom regulator to ban TikTok the popular social media app for entertainment videos over proliferation of “immoral and indecent” content.
The decision was taken by the Peshawar High Court (HC) Chief Justice Qaiser Rasheed Khan on a petition against the video-sharing platform that it was spreading obscenity in society.
Announcing the verdict, Justice Khan remarked that indecent videos being uploaded are negatively impacting our youth. “Videos being uploaded on TikTok were unacceptable for Pakistani society. It’s our duty to protect the young generation from immoral activities,” the judge said.
