• "I understand most of the judges are unaware of the tech working models, I'll request the Chief Justice of Pakistan to intervene and the Ministry of Science and Technology will work with Judiciary for tech modules for judges," the minister tweeted.

Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has said that Pakistan will pay a huge price over Peshawar High Court's (PHC) decision to ban TikTok.


On Thursday, the PHC had banned the widely popular Chinese video-sharing app over immoral content. A PHC bench comprising Chief Justice Qaiser Rashid heard several petitions against the app and ordered Tik Tok to be banned.

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) director-general told the court that the authority approached TikTok to have the indecent content on the app removed but had received no response. To this, the PHC replied that the app should remain blocked until TikTok officials cooperate with the PTA.

Following the verdict, the app was banned in Pakistan by PTA. “In respectful compliance to the orders of the Peshawar High Court, PTA has issued directions to the service providers to immediately block access to the TikTok App," the PTA tweeted.

In a tweet today, Chaudhry said he understands most of the judges are unaware of the tech working models. "I'll request the Chief Justice of Pakistan to intervene and the Ministry of Science and Technology will work with Judiciary for tech modules for judges," the minister tweeted.

It's not about tiktok only. Other sites have Been banned too in the past. This scares away digital investors. Although tiktok sucks doe

I dislike tiktok too, but fat Fawad is 100% right. These sorts of actions have impacts in the IT industry. Social media is a massive advertising platforms, all big businsess want to have a presence on them. Nobody wants to operate in a country where a judge who can't operate his mobile phone properly is empowered to make rulings like this.

Tiktok is the most cringe app in the history of mankind

I don't think any usefully site is banned....atleast for now that is pushing digital investor away ...

 

[Uguduwa]

TikTok should be banned worldwide. Good decision Pakistan!

 

[Clutch]

Tiktok is waste of cyberspace...

Good riddance to bad garbage!

 

[Neurath]

Banning TikTok will do nothing. The same degenerates on TikTok will move to some other platform to spread their degeneracy, The problem is not in the platform, its in the people.

Facebook dating feature is not available in Pakistan based on selective geographic preferences enabled by facebook.
Why cant Tiktok adopt similar model and filter-out content for Pakistan

Why do we give up so early and avoid negotiating?

 

[Azadkashmir]

tiktok will make you into a ***** who dances on camera.

The judges should not waste Pakistan Tax payer money , on listening cases against Tik Tok Focus on cancelling Maryem safdar Zamanat / Bail

Tiktok one useless app for useless people. I would oppose youtube ban because there is so much one can learn from youtube. Where as tiktok is just useless.

Tictok is a successful business model and learning from their success, Youtube started its stories and Instagram included a similar feature in their image broadcasting platform.

Now if Pakistan has a problem with the content, which we genuinely go, the model should be adopted to produce similar content. Ban the content, not the business model.
