Karachi – Pakistan: The Sindh High Court (SHC) announced on Friday its decision to lift the ban from TikTok across Pakistan after PTA gave assurances to the court that it will address the petitioner’s grievances request by Monday.

The high court had ordered the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to suspend TikTok for immortality and obscenity on TikTok, as petition by a citizen.

This is the second time in 2021, and third since October 2020

The Sindh High Court reverses the order and directed the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority to restore the TikTok app.
