High Court today ordered the government to put an end to all aspects of "destructive" online games and apps, such as TikTok, Likee, Bigo Live, and PUBG, until further notice, in order to "protect children and adolescents from moral and social degradation."
In addition, the court ordered government officials to explain in 10 days why they had not taken action to stop such games and apps.
Assistant Attorney General Golam Sarwar Payel told The Daily Tourist BD that a writ petition was filed, asking for necessary directives, and the two judges of the HC made the decision.
Law and Life Foundation, a rights organization, filed the injunction on behalf of Mohammad Humayun Kabir Pallob and Mohammed Kawsar on June 24, 2009, as a public interest litigation.
Using such apps and games, they have requested that the HC order the government's relevant authorities to identify the individuals involved in dealings worth crores of taka.
At the same time, the petitioners asked the HC to form a committee of technologists, educators, and lawyers to recommend banning harmful apps and games for youths on behalf of Bangladesh Telecommunication and Regulatory Commission (BTRC).
