Amnesty International has said that Pakistanis have been deprived of their right to freedom of expression in the name of campaigning against pornography. A statement issued by Amnesty International on the micro-blogging site Twitter said that the decision of the Pakistani government to shut down the social media application Tik Tok was a violation of freedom of expression. Banning the app has deprived Pakistanis of freedom of expression. Amnesty International says it expects Pakistan to lift the ban. Pakistan should have freedom of speech, writing and speech. Closing a social media application is a violation of expression.
PAKISTAN: In the name of a campaign against vulgarity, people are being denied the right to express themselves online. The #TikTokBan comes against a backdrop where voices are muted on television, columns vanish from newspapers, websites are blocked and television ads banned.
