The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has once again warned TikTok over “vulgar and objectionable content” on the platform after a court in the northwestern city of Peshawar ordered the ban on the short-form video service be officially lifted.
The ban on TikTok was the second time the Pakistani authorities had sanctioned the app — owned by China’s ByteDance — after restricting it back in October 2020. The latest development comes almost a month after the Peshawar High Court (PHC) had directed the state-run telecom authority to “immediately block access” to the service.
