PTA sent the requisite legal notices to the above-mentioned social media platforms to regulate socialization and content within legal and moral limits, in accordance with the country’s laws.

Those companies’ response, however, was not satisfactory.

Thus, in enforcing its powers under PECA, PTA agreed to immediately block Bigo and send a warning letter to Tik Tok to put in place a robust system for regulating obscenity, vulgarity, and immorality through its social media application.

Earlier, PTA has banned PUBG in Pakistan after getting complaints from the parents of the children who binge played the game.
