But how long has it been since the last tick-tack was banned? Last month, on March 11, the Peshawar High Court had ordered the DGPTA to shut down the Tik Tak app. And just 19 days later, the ban was lifted again. The question is, did the objections that led to the closure of the app come to an end? Or has the application company made any assurances?
It was recalled that on October 9 last year, the PTA had shut down Tik Tak across the country for not removing pornographic material. If the app was reopened later, would those objections be removed? It was also heard that after the notices were issued by the PTA, Tik Tak claimed that it had removed dozens of controversial videos from Pakistan while trying to get the government and content to produce ethical and good content. Ready to work with If so, what is the justification for re-imposing the ban?
The thing to think about is that such dramatic decisions as "ban, lift the ban" do not hurt the reputation of Pakistan's top institutions? Wouldn't such decisions be a laughing stock? Not to mention that not long after the ban on major platforms like YouTube, not only Pakistani YouTubers were harmed but also attempts were made to take the Pakistani people away from this major platform where only There is not only entertainment but also a variety of scholarly material. Can such restrictions be "afforded" in today's technological age?
Now pay attention to the objections and remarks that came to light before the ban decision.
Videos uploaded to TikTak are not acceptable to our society.
Tick tock videos are spreading obscenity in the society so it should be stopped immediately.
Tick tock is affecting most young people.
The video sharing application is also becoming a means of spreading pornography for ratings and fame on social media.
Before discussing these objectives, let's get acquainted with the Tik Tak app. Even in 2019, when there was talk of closing the Tik Tak app, we wrote a blog in this regard, the contents of this blog are re-presented to the readers.
Called TickTalk, the app was introduced as a musical in 2014. In just two years, in 2016, the number of users reached 90 million, while by the end of May 2017, the number of musical users reached 200 million. Gone On August 2, 2018, the name of this app was changed to Tik Tak and in recent days, the number of users of this app has exceeded 600 million. After all, what is it about this application that makes people so obsessed with it? There are other applications of the same type that have not received the acceptance that is characteristic of Tik Tak. This is a simple application that involves performing lip sync on various dialogues or songs.
This application claims that it gives you the opportunity to showcase your talent to the world, without exaggeration. You can act and dance while moving your lips to dialogues or songs, or if you have any other art related skills, you can also make a fifteen second to one minute video and present it to the world. How can it be wrong to inform the world at home about your talent in a very cheap and easy way when your country not only lacks opportunities and facilities but also suffocates the emerging talent by forcing it to perish. Is done. Our governments have not only plunged the nation into an educational decline, but also deliberately left the majority behind. In such a situation, stopping those who accept their talent in a self-made way can only be termed as cruelty.
Now take a look at another aspect of this application. This application also gives its users a chance to earn. That is, if you have the talent and you can "attract" other users of this app and force them to see themselves, then you can also earn a good amount of money from this app. According to the information available on the internet, the top 10 users of this app earned about 46,000 dollars in two weeks. A user named Bark Baker earned about 30,000 dollars from his initial one dozen performances.
This Earnings is in the top ten people but the rest of the people are not far behind, an average user who becomes a million fans and is entitled to the Golden Crown, his monthly earnings can be two to three thousand dollars, ie 2, 3 Pakistani rupees. Rs. 1 lakh per month. The app was also very popular in our neighboring country, which we consider an eternal rival, where it was shut down simply because of "enmity with China".
Many ordinary people around the world showed their talent through this app and later they became stars of showbiz and other fields in their respective countries. Tick tock is also behind this huge change in the lives of these ordinary people. Many tick talkers of Pakistan have also gained fame due to this app and have given their entry in showbiz. Now you tell me how many institutions in your country are accepting your talent, providing opportunities? Which class and how many people have access to the few institutions? The news of an anonymous talent of Pakistan is received through electronic and print media, then after shining their business on this news, government representatives, powerful people and even the media themselves forget it and leave it helpless.
Now let's talk about the objections to this application, ie spreading obscenity and obscenity. There is no denying that whether everything is positive or negative depends on the personal desire of the user. When I used this app, I did not come across any video that could be called pornography, but since this topic was intended to be ridiculous, I did a special search on YouTube and came up with some videos that were meaningful and meaningless. Conversations were used. But it is unfortunate that those meaningful and absurd phrases were taken from Pakistan's own stage dramas, meaning that this evil itself was already present in your society which has not been remedied. While we also see that Pakistani media dramas and advertisements are showing much more open phrases and scenes, so your media should be caught before tick talk.
As far as the question of young boys and girls making their own videos and making themselves public, there are other aspects that need to be explored. Just as parents today have left the younger generation helpless, a temptation in the form of mobile has been handed over to them, can you avoid the loss of all these superstitions by banning just one app?
On the other hand, we see that the evils of this app on the platforms that are happening on the Internet, are themselves a great stimulus for the destruction of society and pornography. Do you only find ethical things on Facebook and YouTube? WhatsApp's flaws are not hidden from anyone. That is to say, all these mediums should also be "banned", while a platform like Facebook is causing not only unbridled freedom but also chaos, misinformation and political anarchy, but because the government leaders and politicians have their own goals. Connected to this platform so no one talks about shutting it down.
On the other hand, there are many wrong websites and applications on the internet and mobile that are doing the business of dating and prostitution, but no one in Pakistan is looking at it. We are not a fan of tic-tac-toe, nor do we want to be unduly biased, but it is important to eliminate the major triggers before the issue is raised again and again. Above all, eliminate "unemployment" and "leisure" from the country. Value the talent in the country and provide them with opportunities. If young people have positive activities to keep them engaged, they won't need any app. But until that happens, dramas like "ban, lift" should be avoided.
