One such user is posting cringe-worthy content that brings us to the question, Where is the youth of this country headed?

In the video 2 guys presumably in their teens, are dancing along romantically to a song, and while one could decipher such an act as one being funny, the projection of sexual intimacies is truly mortifying.

Areeka Haq took the application by storm and became a famous TikTok celebrity. However, TikTok led to several scandals and controversies as well; like that of PTI’s Fayyaz Ul Hassan and of PIA Air-Hostesses, respectively.

The controversies, scandals, fame, recognition, business and so much more, are all part of the grand social-media scheme. The argument still stands, who is going to judge what is appropriate, and what is not?
