TikTok was back in Pakistan on Saturday, two days after it was blocked by the Pakistan Telecoms Authority (PTA) following a ruling by a Sindh court hearing a private citizen’s petition against the Chinese-owned app.

A provincial court on Saturday lifted the ban on the popular social media service. and ordered it to address complaints that it hosted objectionable content.

TikTok has been shut down twice before in the country because of alleged “indecent” videos — most recently in March, after which the platform pledged better moderation.

It said on Wednesday it had removed more than six million videos from its Pakistan service in the past three months alone — around 15 percent featuring “adult nudity and sexual activities”.

A PTA official told AFP the court had on Friday revoked its earlier order banning the app, and users confirmed it was running again.

Still, even senior Pakistan officials appeared confused by the to- and fro-ing.

“I am baffled after reading… verdict on suspension of TikTok,” Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry tweeted.

TikTok‘s suspension was slammed by the video-sharing platform’s huge fan base in Pakistan, many of whom use it to market and sell goods online.  

But its critics in the deeply conservative Muslim nation say it promotes vulgarity and LBGQT content.

Earlier this month, small anti-TikTok rallies were held against what protesters called the spreading of homosexual content on the platform.

“We have grown our local-language moderation capacity for Pakistan and work diligently to review and take action on content in violation of our community guidelines,” a TikTok statement said after the latest takedown.
