TikTok, after warnings and a blockade today, appears to have heard the call and is seemingly working on introducing more serious moderation of the content on platform.Â
However, a lot of internet users are celebrating the ban. They are opining that TikTok was spreading indecency and should remain blocked.
A poll being conducted by TikTok itself is actually saying that majority of participants want the app to remain blocked in Pakistan.
Not to be mentioned, PTA has invited TikTok to ensure better content moderation in Pakistan and regulator will be ready to revisit its decision.
Which essentially means, even if and when back, TikTok won’t be the same again.

we need tiktok unban
It’s look like propk has shared a fake pole. Tiktok pk didn’t conduct any poll
This is fake Tiktok twitter handle.ProPakistani is become ProPTA.
Banning an app is never a solution. What we need is strict regulations and implementation of it. Also the company should hire more moderators, this would also give jobs to many Pakistani’s.
Yes we want tik tok should remain ban forever in Pakistan.
It should have remained banned but unfortunately it’s back now
