The action was taken to the light of the prevailing regional situation to safeguard national security and protect Pakistan’s digital ecosystem.
According to the PTA, it was discovered that the blocked content was disseminating deceptive and harmful narratives aimed at manipulating public perception and undermining national unity.
The measure is part of the continuous efforts of the authority to combat misinformation and promote the responsible use of digital platforms.
