Peshawar: TikTok has moved the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) after receiving a complaint from the regulator, saying that the video was filmed.
In a letter to the Peshawar High Court (PHC), which filed a petition against the program, TikTok recently said that it has not received any complaints about the content broadcast through the special portal.
A bench comprising Justice SM Atiq Shah and Justice Shakeel Ahmed is overseeing the landmark hearing to ban TikTok in Pakistan on the grounds of blasphemy and immorality.
Advocate Imran Khan asked the court to permanently ban TikTok in Pakistan against the respondents – PTA, Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Ministry of Information, for repeatedly violating the guidelines and violating the Constitution.
In a previous hearing, the court had ordered the telecom regulator to ensure that all defamatory and defamatory material on TikTok was removed.
In the letter, the video-sharing app said TikTok has a strict policy in Pakistan that it takes the issue of offensive content seriously.
“Due to the seriousness of this TikTok has taken action and has submitted a special portal to the PTA to report such content for quick review by TikTok,” he said.
The program is said to block content reported through the portal that violates Pakistan’s speech laws, and said there have been no recent increases.
“Therefore, after discovering this news report, we have contacted the PTA to invite them to report the relevant content and we await their response on this matter,” he said.
The popular video-sharing platform TikTok was first banned in Pakistan in October 2020. Since then, it has faced numerous restrictions, with authorities concerned about the spread of obscene content.
