Sharing a news article about Hamza’s fall, a Twitter user @SayeedAliBaig2, thought that the app should be banned in Pakistan:

A 20-year-old man fell from the fourth floor of a building while shooting TikTok videos with his friends in Lahore’s Naseerabad today morning. #Pakistan government imposed ban on #pubg while spared #TikTok. I think it should also be banned.

On July 21, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority had also issued a final warning to TikTok over obscenity concerns. The app makers had been asked to put in place, a comprehensive mechanism to control obscenity, vulgarity and immorality through its social media platform.

Reportedly, the local police department seized his mobile phone, and are investigating the case.
