PM Imran Wants To Ban TikTok As It Is Harming Society Through 'Vulgar Content'


via https://youtu.be/Q3IO_G1Ykls According to Minister of Information Shibli Faraz, Prime Minister Imran Khan has ordered the concerned government departments to limit and block apps like TikTok that are ‘growing obscenity and vulgarity’ in our society. While speaking to The News, Faraz said, “PM Imran is extremely concerned about the ‘growing obscenity and vulgarity’ in the society. Moreover, he wants a comprehensive strategy to check the vulgarity spreading in society. He said the increase in vulgar and obscene content has given a rise to crimes like the rape of children and women in our country. Besides this, the information minister shared that the premier recently told him that apps like TikTok are badly harming society’s values. They will be asked to respect the values of society and ensure that no indecent and obscene content is shared. Reportedly, PM has also directed the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to cleanse the Internet, social media, and various apps of vulgarity for users in Pakistan. Moreover, PTA Chairman Maj General (retd) Amir Azeem Bajwa recently told the publication that PM Imran is worried about the destruction caused to the social, cultural, and religious values of society by vulgarity. Earlier in July, the telecom regulator had also issued a final warning to Chinese-owned social media app TikTok, ordering it to filter out any obscene content.
