TikTok Ban in Pakistan

Pakistan banned access to Tiktok in October 2020 after an immoral and indecent clips.
Under the new version of Tiktok, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) can ask for access to offending material to be blocked, the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom said in a statement.
“On the recommendation of PTA, the government of Pakistan has allowed access to the recently launched country version of Tiktok for internet users in Pakistan,” the ministry said.
The government could ask Google to block access to offending material for users within Pakistan and the ministry said Google and Tiktok would “accordingly restrict access” for Pakistani users.
Google, however, said that it would not automatically remove material without conducting a review, and that the vetting process was the same as in other jurisdictions with local Tiktok versions. Government requests to remove content would be publicly reported, it added.
“We have clear community guidelines, and when videos violate those rules, we remove them,” it said in a statement.
“Where we have launched Tiktok locally and we are notified that a video is illegal in that country, we may restrict access to it after a thorough review.”
Pakistan has blocked thousands of web pages it deems undesirable in the last few years as internet access spreads, but activists say the government sometimes blocks sites to muzzle liberal or critical voices.
