New Delhi: Pakistan has also banned the Chinese app Tiktok. According to the report of Pakistan’s Geo News, this action has been taken due to no steps taken by TicTalk to curb illegal online content. The video sharing app has been blocked for spreading pornography in Pakistan. However, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority also says that it has taken this decision for culture, not security. If Tittock improves its content, the Authority will reconsider its decision.
