<p>In a statement, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) said that it took the step after receiving complaints against “immoral and indecent” content on the video-sharing platform.</p>
<p>The PTA said that keeping in view the complaints and nature of the content being consistently posted on TikTok, the company was issued a final notice and given considerable time to respond and comply with instructions and guidelines.</p>
<p>But TikTok “failed to fully comply with PTA’s instructions”, after which the authority decided to ban it in Pakistan.</p>
<p>Shortly after the ban, the app began to show a blank interface with no text or images loading.</p>
<p>Pakistan has close relations with China.</p>
<p>The telecommunication authority kept the door open for a return of TikTok, saying “it is open for engagement” and would review its decision if TikTok develops a mechanism to moderate the content.</p>
<p>It has been a target of several complaints and court petitions calling for its ban in Pakistan.</p>
<p>In July, PTA said it had issued a “final warning” to TikTok to remove “obscene and immoral content”.</p>
<p>The video-sharing app, which is owned by China’s ByteDance, is the third-most downloaded app over the past year after WhatsApp and Facebook and has been downloaded almost 39 million times in Pakistan.</p>
<p>The app was earlier banned by India and the United States for violating guidelines.</p>
