Pakistan on Tuesday blocked access to Tinder and several other dating apps in a bid to control immoral and indecent content, just days after regulators threatened to shut down YouTube for similar reasons.

The dating app Tinder is shown on an Apple iPhone in this photo illustration taken February 10, 2016.

The Pakistan telecommunication Authority 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.

The PTA said the ban addressed the negative effects of immoral/indecent content.

The PTA said the apps could request to have their blocks lifted if they show they are moderating the indecent/immoral content through meaningful engagement.
