Pakistan issues final warning to TikTok over 'immoral' content
|
[Al Ahram] Pakistain's telecommunications regulator issued a "final warning" to short-form video app TikTok over "immoral" content posted on the platform, while live streaming app Bigo Live was blocked in the country for the same reason.
TikTok, owned by China-based ByteDance, is already currently facing problems with authorities in a number of countries including in Australia, India, and the United States due to security and privacy issues.
Pakistain Telecommunication Authority (PTA) said in a statement that it had sent TikTok and Bigo Live notices to moderate content on their platforms after receiving complaints, but their response was unsatisfactory.
"PTA has decided to immediately block Bigo and issue final warning to TikTok to put in place a comprehensive mechanism to control obscenity, vulgarity and immorality through its social media application," the statement said.
TikTok representatives did not immediately respond to a Rooters request for comment. Singapore-based BIGO Technology, which owns the live video streaming app Bigo Live, did not immediately respond to a request for comment either.
TikTok is one of the world's most popular social media apps, with over 2 billion downloads globally.
In Pakistain, it has been downloaded almost 39 million times and is the third-most downloaded app over the past year after WhatsApp and Facebook, according to analytics firm Sensor Tower.
