The year we meet, TikTok is experiencing a lot of feelings we meet. On the one hand, we find the problems that the United States continues to face, problems that are not over yet and that could take TikTok out of the country. To this problem, we have to add the ban he received a few months ago in India.
The positive point is that TikTok has become the most downloaded application on all mobile platforms, surpassing those that habitually took those positions. This has been the only good news, because if we go back to talking about countries where it has problems, we have to talk about Pakistan.
Pakistan is the latest country to have TikTok blocked. Unlike India, which blocked it because of the problems it had with China on the border. in the case of Pakistan, the reason is due to the type of content displayed on the platform, content that according to the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority it is indecent and immoral.
In view of a number of complaints from different segments of society against the immoral / indecent content of the video sharing app TikTok, the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) has given instructions to block the app.
Considering the complaints and the nature of the content that is consistently posted on TikTok, the PTA issued a final notice on the app and allowed considerable time to respond and comply with the Authority's instructions for the development of an effective proactive moderation mechanism. of illegal content online.
Since TikTok received the first notice from the Pakistani government, it started using a combination of moderation technologies and strategies to detect and review problematic content that violate the conditions of use of the platform to apply the appropriate sanctions, delete videos and the affected accounts. TikTok claims that between July 1 and December 31, 2019, it has removed more than 4 million videos that violated Pakistani regulations.
