Pakistan lifts ban on TikTok after assurances to curb 'immoral, indecent' content

Users in Pakistan will now be able to access TikTok again following a decision by the country's telecom regulator to lift the ban on the Chinese video-sharing platform.

Pakistan's telecom regulator has for the fourth time lifted a ban on TikTok following assurances by the popular Chinese video-sharing platform that it would control "immoral and indecent" contents.

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) had banned it in July after complaints that it was uploading and disseminating immoral contents.
