“#Pakistan bans TikTok, citing \u2018immoral and indecent\u2019 content<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n TikTok has been banned in Pakistan after the country\u2019s telecom regulator deemed that it had failed to filter out \u201cimmoral and indecent\u201d content.<\/p>\n

It is the latest blow for the beleaguered social media<\/a> platform, which back in June was banned in India after that country said it had received reports that TikTok and other Chinese app<\/a>s were \u201cstealing and surreptitiously transmitting users\u2019 data.\u201d<\/p>\n

The app, which is owned by China-based ByteDance, also faces a potential ban in the US over concerns about user privacy.<\/p>\n

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority said that its ban would be in place until TikTok introduced a mechanism that would moderate unlawful content, adding that it has received \u201ccomplaints from different segments of the society against immoral and indecent content on the video sharing application.\u201d<\/p>\n

TikTok, meanwhile, has said that it is \u201ccommitted to following the law in markets where the app is offered.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been in regular communication with the PTA and continue to work with them,\u201d the company said. \u201cWe are hopeful to reach a conclusion that helps us continue to serve the country\u2019s vibrant and creative online community.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the move by Pakistan, an ally of China, raises questions about the company\u2019s future given growing scrutiny of the app by world government\u2019s for a variety of reasons, ranging from nudity to privacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a contained issue. That Pakistan, of any country, raised this issue could have a brush fire effect with other countries looking at TikTok\u2019s content,\u201d Wedbush analyst Dan Ives told The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a move that will be front and center within 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,\u201d he added. \u201cI think TikTok is going to start to be held to the same standards as more regulated platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, the Trump administration appealed a federal court order that halted the feds\u2019 attempt to ban Americans from downloading TikTok.<\/p>\n

Justice Department lawyers said in a Thursday court filing that they plan to challenge the Sept. 27 ruling that temporarily blocked the government\u2019s move to boot TikTok from US app stores.<\/p>\n

The app filed its lawsuit in August after President Trump moved to ban it over concerns that its user data could be shared with the Chinese government, arguing the \u201cheavily politicized\u201d move was made without due process.<\/p>\n

TikTok has said it has never provided user data to China and that it would not do so if asked, saying in a statement that it has \u201cno higher priority than promoting a safe app experience that protects our users\u2019 privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
