Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) on Friday said it has blocked social media app TikTok for failing to filter out "immoral and indecent" content, adding that the authorities remain open to further review and moderation.

 

The move is in light of complaints from different segments of the society against immoral/indecent content on the platform, said the regulator.

 

The PTA said TikTok has been informed that the regulator is open to engagement and will review its decision subject to a satisfactory mechanism by TikTok to moderate unlawful content.

 

So far, TikTok has not commented on the matter.

Georgia Senate candidate Jon Ossoff was revealed to have business ties to a pro-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) company, PCCW Media, which opposes the pro-Democracy protesters in Hong Kong. Ossoff, as the head of a London-based film company, failed to initially disclose these ties, as National Review uncovered in September:

 

โ€œOssoff, whose role as CEO of a London-based producer of investigative documentaries has drawn scrutiny over the years, reported in an amended financial statement that he has received at least $5,000 from PCCW Media Limited over the last two years โ€” a detail that has previously gone unreported. Ossoff did not disclose his ties to PCCW in his initial financial report, which he filed in May.โ€

 

Ossoff eventually amended his disclosures to reflect the ties, though did not list the exact amount his film-company received, but rather the minimum, $5,000, that he is required by law to disclose.

 

As it turns out, PCCW is partially owned by China Unicom, a company maintained by the Chinese government. In 2017, a host of powerhouse Chinese companies invested a total of $11.7 billion in China Unicom, including Alibaba and Tencent.
