Twitter in Pakistan was flooded with mixed reactions after the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) imposed a ban on widely popular social media app, TikTok, on Friday, October 9, 2020.
The short-video sharing app was blocked in the country after it failed to follow instructions regarding removing vulgar, indecent and nude content.
Sharing some hilarious memes, multiple users also expressed sympathy with Jannat Mirza, a top tiktoker, as she hit 10 million followers just a day before the app was blocked.
However, Mirza seems to be unaffected by the recent ban on the social app. Surprisingly, the famous TikToker is in favor of the decision.

In a recent Instagram story, Mirza also shared that she’s currently in Japan and is able use her TikTok account.
