*LAHORE – A petition has been filed in the Lahore High Court againstTikTok, a mobile application commonly used by teenagers to make and sharevideos. *
The petition was filed by a lawyer, Nadeem Sarwar, on August 3 and callsTikTok “a great mischief of modern times”.
It says the app is “destroying the youth” and forcing them to be “selfish”and “go to any lengths to get fame”.
“They are not only wasting their precious time with this nonsense but arealso crossing all limits of morality. This can be seen when the guys in thevideos are made up like girls, which is shameful and one of the many signsof doomsday,” writes Sarwar in his petition.
It also claimed that “TikTok is promoting same sex relationships or‘gayism’” but did not explain how. “Girls dressed up in minimal clothingand videos full of trash talk can be found commonly which no religion normorality can support,” the petition reads.
