Pakistan lifted the ban on TikTok again 20 days later, and the Minister of Science and Technology explained the reason

(Observer online) After TikTok was banned in Pakistan for the second time on March 11, the Peshawar High Court of Pakistan said on April 1 that the ban had been lifted again.
On April 1, the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) released a press release saying that, according to the order of the Peshawar High Court, the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority has issued an order to lift the visit ban on TikTok.
At the same time, TikTok's management department has also been informed that, according to Pakistan's Electronic Crime Prevention Act (PECA) and the court's instructions, it is necessary to ensure that vulgar and objectionable content cannot be accessed.
Today, after the hearing of the case related to TikTok, the Peshawar High Court lifted the blockade of the application according to the instructions.
According to Reuters, TikTok was forbidden to visit on March 11, 2021.
On March 12, the official Twitter of Pakistan Telecommunications Administration released the news that TikTok was banned because the platform involved "immoral" content defined by the Pakistani government, including nudity, blasphemy and obscenities.
Al Jazeera reported that an adviser to Prime Minister Imran Khan of Pakistan accused TikTok of promoting the "exploitation, objectification and sexualization" of young girls.
Rashid Khan, Chief Justice of Peshawar High Court, said at the hearing of lifting the ban on April 1: "When people realize that Pakistan Telecommunications Authority will take action against them, they will no longer upload such videos." After the court ordered the lifting of the ban, TikTok welcomed this in a statement: "I'm glad our users in Pakistan can use TikTok again.", The company is committed to "promoting a safe and positive online community".
With regard to the lifting of the ban on TikTok, the Minister of Science and Technology of Pakistan tweeted on April 1 that it is necessary to be very careful when making decisions that may affect Pakistan's future economy, and that a framework is needed to encourage international companies to use Pakistan as an investment center.
According to Al Jazeera TV, in October last year, the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority banned TikTok for similar reasons, but 10 days later, Tiktok's decision to ban was withdrawn because the parent company of TikTok, ByteDance, agreed to supervise the content spread in Pakistan.
It is reported that the TikTok application is widely popular among young people in Pakistan, with nearly 39 million downloads.
