Pakistan Bans Tinder Because It is ‘Immoral’, Twitter Says Such A Bad Day For ‘Married Men In Pakistan’

Pakistan has reportedly on Tuesday blocked its citizens access to the dating app Tinder and several others in a bid to control “immoral” and “indecent” content. Pakistan had earlier also threatened to shut down YouTube for similar reasons.

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) said it had barred users from accessing Tinder, Grindr, SayHi, Tagged and Skout after the social networking apps failed to “moderate… content in accordance” with Pakistan’s laws.

He said, “If adults choose to be on an app, it is not for the state to dictate whether they should use it or not,” adding that the ban is “a completely ridiculous move” that people would find ways to circumvent.

Pakistan doesn’t need #Tinder anyway. ??‍♀️ For Pakistanis, every app is Tinder. May it be LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Oh let's not forget how some people randomly get your number and they'd start messaging over WhatsApp.

Most hillarious thing about tinder is married men judging single girls for being there?

Well, after reading all these looks like it’s only some men in Pakistan who can be tagged as immoral and not Tinder. Nevertheless, Pakistan has given Tinder and other applications a chance to clarify about their moraling policies to get the ban lifted.
