A ban was even imposed on the video-sharing app after Pakistan Telecommunication Authority received several complaints from concerned parents.

In a statement issued months ago, PTA said;

“In view of the number of complaints from different segments of the society against immoral/indecent content on the video-sharing application TikTok, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has issued instructions for blocking the application.”

PTA issued notices to the application and gave it considerable time to respond and comply for better online censorship and safety. When the app failed to comply it was banned. Later an extensive social media campaign by users led to the ban being revoked.
