The ban on TikTok imposed by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority [PTA] did not even last 10 days. But you know what lasts forever? Pakistanis and their razor-sharp sense of humor.
Now that TikTok is back, people can’t help but share relatable memes about the whole thing. While the ban was only implemented for some days, it seems like the war amongst memers and Tiktokers has only begun.
A Shortlived Tiktok Ban
It was reported that after several complaints made to the Chinese video-sharing app, TikTok was finally banned by PTA for not complying with the federal government’s regulations.
A few days later, after the social media platform gave reassurances to implement safeguards and filter content, PTA made the decision to lift the ban.
TikTok is being unlocked after assurance from management that they will block all accounts repeatedly involved in spreading obscenity and immorality.
TikTok will moderate the account in accordance with local laws.— PTA (@PTAofficialpk) October 19, 2020
Both the decisions of banning and unbanning TikTok have led to major social media debates. But these memes have won the spotlight. Let’s take a look:
