The Peshawar High Court on Thursday said the telecommunications authority can lift a block on social media app TikTok, after government officials said the company is working with them on monitoring what they called ‘immoral’ content.
The head of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) told the court in a hearing that it was in talks with TikTok and the company had agreed to appoint a focal person to ensure content was better moderated. “When people realize the PTA will take action against them, they will no longer upload such videos,” Peshawar High Court Chief Justice Qaiser Rashid Khan said during the hearing.
The court had taken a notice of the matter during the last hearing into a petition seeking orders for domicile restriction for admission to private medical and dental colleges in the province. APP/File
