LAHORE – A resolution was submitted in the #Punjab Assembly calling for a nationwide ban on the popular social media app #TikTok. The resolution was presented by provincial assembly member Farrukh Javed Moon.
The document stated that the app was encouraging obscenity and vulgarity. It claimed that TikTok’s live chat features promoted indecent conversations among young people. Lawmakers stressed that such content could harm the moral values of the younger generation.
A resolution was submitted in the #Punjab Assembly calling for a nationwide ban on the popular social media app #TikTok. The move highlights growing concerns in certain sections of society about the platform’s influence on youth behavior.
According to the resolution, TikTok allegedly promotes unethical practices by encouraging young boys and girls to take part in inappropriate activities. The concern is that such exposure may lead to long-term negative impacts on social and cultural values.
This is not the first time TikTok has faced criticism in Pakistan. In previous years, the app was temporarily blocked several times due to complaints about offensive material. Each time, it was restored after the company promised stricter content moderation.
The latest demand in the Punjab Assembly reflects continued debate over balancing freedom of expression and social responsibility. Supporters of the ban argue that stricter action is necessary to protect youth from harmful exposure.
On the other hand, critics argue that banning the app may not be a practical solution. They suggest that better digital awareness, parental guidance, and content monitoring could provide safer alternatives without shutting down access.
