SHC orders removal obscene content from social media

KARACHI: The Sindh High Court(SHC) has ordered the immediate removal of obscene content from all social media platforms.

Sindh High Court Chief Justice Aqeel Abbasi heard the petition against obscene content on social media, during which the petitioner’s lawyer said in his arguments that obscenity is being promoted in the name of family vlogging.

During the hearing, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority’s counsel told the court that PTA does not have the authority to remove content on Facebook, YouTube, or any other website, and to remove objectionable content, it has to write to the concerned authorities.

Meanwhile, PTA’s counsel sought time to submit the reply, on which the court said that obscene content should be removed from Facebook, Tik Tok, and other apps, whatever the order, the orders should be fully implemented and all objectionable content should be removed from websites.

The court ordered to take immediate action against immoral content on social media and to prepare a complete chart and submit a report.
