TikTok star Hareem Shah has upheld the Peshawar High Court’s decision to ban the video-sharing app TikTok. She said, after several warnings, many people have lost their lives just to make a few seconds video.
“We have raised our voices against the ban imposed on TikTok earlier. However, many people have lost their lives just to create a TikTok video”.
According to the details, the TikTok star said the High Court was forced to take such a decision as people were misusing the app. Blaming the other TikTok users, Hareem said,
“When people find something new, they start misusing it instead of using it wisely”.
Sending a message to her fans, Hareem Shah said that whenever the government makes a decision, it does so by keeping us [people] in mind. If we want to make a video, we should make something beneficial.
