The government of Pakistan restored the short video sharing application Tik Tok to Pakistan only after 10 days on conditional permission.
The government blocked Tik Tok on October 9 this month for not removing immoral content.
The Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) had shut down Tik Tok for not removing pornographic material despite repeated notices.

Government ministers had also hinted a few days ago that Tik Tok would be restored soon after conditional permission and on the morning of October 19, the PTA had decided to restore Tik Tok.
