An immediate ban has been imposed on the social media app, TikTok. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has asserted that this action is a product of the complaints lodged by different sections of society. It is being said that the complaints primarily focused on the way TikTok has been “promoting obscenity” and how most of the videos shared on the app “do not meet the moral standards of the society.”

TikTok stars and regular TikTok users have talked about the whole banning saga and have used their Instagram accounts to address the issue.

One of the biggest TikTok stars, Jannat Mirza, who has the highest number of followers in Pakistan, urged her fans to find other ways to view her content.

Jannat is currently in Japan and has said that TikTok is working smoothly on her phone right now.

Another one of the many famous TikTok stars, Alishbah Anjum, posted a video of her saying, TikTok nahe rahay

Mustafa Ali Shah also posted a similar video sharing the same message
