What happened: On April 23, Afghanistan’s Taliban administration enforced a ban on TikTok and PUBG in the country, saying that the content of these apps misleads the younger Afghan generation. Taliban spokesperson of the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology shared the ban on Twitter, “TikTok’s filthy content was not considered with Islamic laws.” Details: It is pertinent to mention that other forms of entertainment were banned in the country after the Taliban came into power, such as cinemas, and only religious content is being aired on national television. However, they have banned PUBG and said, “We have received a lot of complaints about how the TikTok app and the PUBG game are wasting people’s time.” Subsequently, the apps have been removed from the internet serves and have been made inaccessible to everyone in Afghanistan.
