LAHORE: (Web Desk) Sindh High Court (SHC) banned on Monday the video sharing app TIKTOK across Pakistan with immediate effect.
The petitioner’s lawyer while presenting his arguments in the court, said Peshawar High Court had earlier banned TikTok as some videos uploaded on the platform are “immoral and against the teachings of Islam.”
The lawyer said his client had approached the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) before moving the court, however, the PTA did not do anything in this regard.
The SHC then gave its ruling and issued notice to the attorney general of Pakistan and directed him to follow the orders and get the app banned.
The SHC’s order makes it the third time that the video-sharing platform has been banned in Pakistan.
TIKTOK has been banned nearly three months after the country had lifted a ban imposed on it by the Peshawar High Court.
