It has recently been announced by PTA that PUBG will remain banned in Pakistan.

I want to make clear that I'm not a gamer myself and I only played PUBG in 2018 for a month, thus this petition in general supports the cause and has nothing to do with my personal interests. It only aims at the revival of technology in Pakistan.

Let us fight against the unfair and nonsensical ban of PlayerUknown's Battlegrounds in Pakistan. A large number of youngsters are earning through online streaming and this ban will shatter their dreams and render them unemployed. All the logics and reasons presented by PTA in favour of this ban are logical fallacies and none of them make any sense whatsoever. The bad effects they claim PUBG have on society are meaningless because it is a game, not a drug. It depends on how people consume it and it's none of their business how much time someone spends on the game.

I humbly request our government to look into this matter too. Cigarette manufacturing has more bad effects than PUBG, why then government issues licenses to tobacco brands? Because it's the consumers' business and they're responsible for all the bad things that would happen to them after smoking, right? If someone is sane enough to choose something consciously, then let them decide if it's good or bad for them. I think it's rather their parents' job and not PTA's. It does not deserve a nation-wide ban. If we apply that logic then literally hundreds of thousands of brands and websites can be banned, including Twitter, a platform that is used by so many national authorities to make official statements.

But it doesn't make sense and banning is certainly not the solution. I hope that this petition will reach the authorities and they will review their decision with logic and reason and not with emotion and illogic.

Please sign this petition and support the cause. Pakistan needs technology. It's PUBG today and it will be social media tomorrow. We're living in 2020 and this culture needs to be stopped.
