PM has also directed the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to cleanse the Internet, social media, and various apps of vulgarity for users in Pakistan.
Tik Tok is a famous social media app for creating and sharing short videos and as per the reports, the young generation is spending much time on making useless and indecent videos on this application.
Now the government of Pakistan on the concern of PM due to the increase of nudity and vulgar content is planning to block Tik Tok.
According to Minister of Information Shibli Faraz, Prime Minister Imran Khan has ordered the concerned government departments to limit and block apps like TikTok that are ‘growing obscenity and vulgarity’ in the country.
Prime Minister demanded to block Tik Tok in the country. He added that PM has discussed this issue with him not once or twice, but 15 or 16 times.
Furthermore, he wants a comprehensive strategy to check the vulgarity spreading in society. Through mainstream outlets as well as social media and its applications.

Both Tik Tok and Musical.ly are owned by Chinese firm Bytedance.

Many people believe that TikTok, with its addicting nature, is adversely affecting the society in sub-continent countries and it should be blocked in Pakistan.
