This refers to recent decision of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) about banning Tiktok application in Pakistan. Tiktok undoubtedly spread immoral and indecent content in society. There were negative impacts of it on society. However, It was highly popular video-sharing app among youth. Mostly, unemployed youth was in making videos on it and they sometimes violate the sentiments of society by using abusive language and offensive video clips. While it was being banned in Pakistan, many have appreciated the decision taken by PTA. Even a famous tiktoker Mansoor Chandio, followers in million, appreciated and said it was being used by unethical people. Tiktok had also negative repercussions on university students. Mostly students used to make videos and spend their study time on it. They, consequently, either get low marks in Examinations or get failed which caused their parents disturbances. Sexual content causes lust among youth. It, resultantly, aggravates situation and sexual lust. PTA should also look after other applications violating community standards and norms. There should be no sexual lust spreading application.
