Pakistan on Friday blocked social media app TikTok for failing to filter out ‘immoral and indecent’ content, the country’s telecommunication authority said in a statement.
“In view of number of complaints from different segments of the society against immoral and indecent content on the video sharing application TikTok, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has issued instructions for blocking of the application,” said the statement.
TikTok was not immediately reachable for comment on the matter, reports Reuters.
The PTA said TikTok has been informed that the regulator is open to engagement and will review its decision subject to a satisfactory mechanism by TikTok to moderate unlawful content.
