TikTok is banned again in Pakistan

Nearly three months after Pakistan lifted the ban on TikTok, the Sindh High Court (SHC) ordered a national ban on TikTok for the third time every week.

The SHC decision was made at a hearing, and the court issued a notice to the Minister of Justice of Pakistan instructing him to comply with the order and ban the application.

The petitioner’s lawyer stated his argument in court that the Peshawar High Court had earlier banned TikTok because some videos uploaded on the platform were “immoral and contrary to Islamic teachings”.

The lawyer said that his client had contacted the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) before moving, but PTA did not do anything in this regard.

The court has summoned the parties involved in the case on July 8.
