TikTok Official Statement Regarding Ban Lift from Peshawar High Court

TikTok was recently banned in Pakistan due to allegations that the platform isn’t complying with the guidelines issued by the PTA. The ban came into effect after two high court lawyers sought the ban for videos “contrary to ethical standards and moral values of Pakistan.” They appealed to the court to block the video-sharing app until it operated according to the guidelines provided by the PTA in 2020. Thus, TikTok was blocked. The ban faced serious criticism in the aftermath due to which it has been revamped. After the ban was lifted, the authorities at TikTok said, 

We are pleased that TikTok is once again available to our community in Pakistan. This is a testament to TikTok’s continued commitment to enforcing our Community Guidelines to promote a safe and positive community online.
