Pakistan again lifts ban on TikTok

Pakistan's telecommunications regulator revoked the video-sharing app TikTok's ban for the fourth time on Friday after the firm promised to regulate 'immoral' content.

"Subsequent to imposing of ban on 20 July 2021, PTA stayed in communications with TikTok management," according to a statement released by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).

Senior management of the platform assured PTA of its commitment to take required measures to restrict unlawful content in compliance with local laws and societal standards as a consequence of ongoing interaction.

The South Asian country has suspended the social platform that hosts a variety of short-form user videos numerous times during the last year on similar charges.

Meanwhile, Pakistani officials said they will monitor the application to ensure that ‘unlawful content, contrary to law and societal values, is not disseminated’.
