Banning Chinese apps is getting momentum with one after the country, making moves in this regard. After India, United States, Pakistan too banned the video-sharing application.

Indian News Agency ANI took to Twitter and shared the press released which claims that the Tik-Tok app was banned on the grounds of "immoral and indecent" content on the app.

ANI quoted Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) as saying: the action was taken after receiving many complaints about the immoral and indecent content shared on the app. The Authority received complaints from the various sections of the society.

Going by the official statement, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) told the Chinese video-sharing application that, if it comes up with a satisfactory mechanism to moderate unlawful content, the decision to ban the app can be reviewed.

On the grounds of compromising on the personal and online data of the users, the Indian government banned 59 Chinese apps including TikTok, Shareit, and Uc browser. Months after India banned TikTok, the US imposed a ban on the app in September.
