Pakistan lifts TikTok ban
Pakistani authorities lifted the country’s ban on TikTok 10 days after they chose to ban the social media platform. The ban was reversed after Pakistan received assurance from the Chinese-based platform that it would allow moderation of content in respect of local laws. Pakistan’s national telecommunication authority had originally outlawed the platform due to the propagation of ‘obscene and immoral content’.
