Pak court lifts ban on TikTok

Islamabad: A top Pakistani court on Friday withdrew its earlier decision to ban the popular Chinese short video-sharing platform TikTok for spreading immorality in the country.

The Sindh High Court (SHC) on June 28 had asked the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the telecom regulator, to suspend the



TikTok app on the complaint by a citizen regarding “immorality and obscenity” on the mobile app. During a hearing on Friday, the PTA informed that access to the app was already blocked by it but it also requested the court to review its decision and allow it to restore the services.
