TikTok was banned in Pakistan, according to local media reports, in another blow to the viral video app’s ambitions in south Asia after it was shut down in India last summer.
The Peshawar High Court ordered a ban on TikTok over "immoral and objectionable" content on the platform, reported Pakistani news channel ARY News.
"TikTok videos are peddling vulgarity in society," said chief justice Qaiser Rashid Khan, adding that the app should be banned until it complies with authorities.
TikTok was previously shut down in Pakistan in October after complaints over "indecent" content on the platform, though it came back online less than two weeks later, The Financial Times reported.
