A petition has been filed in the Peshawar High Court seeking action against obscene content in the Pashto language on TikTok. The petitioner raised concerns over inappropriate material being shared during TikTok live sessions.
The petition states that many TikTok live broadcasts feature indecent conversations in Pashto. These sessions aim to increase viewership but harm social values and community norms. The petitioner claims this content is against the cultural and moral standards of society.
The petitioner has urged the court to take strict action against TikTok’s management and the creators of such content. The request calls for better regulation to stop the spread of inappropriate material on the platform.

The petitioner’s case highlights the challenge of balancing free expression and protecting social values on platforms like TikTok. It also points to the need for stronger oversight and clearer guidelines to prevent harmful content.
The Peshawar High Court will review the petition and decide on the next steps. Meanwhile, users and community members are watching closely to see how the court addresses these concerns.
