Islamabad: Pakistan has taken decisive action by blocking 16 Indian YouTube news channels, 31 YouTube video links, and 32 websites accused of spreading anti-Pakistan propaganda and disinformation.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) announced that this step was necessary in light of the current regional security situation. The authority emphasized that the move aims to protect Pakistan’s digital ecosystem and maintain national security.
The blocked channels and websites were reportedly involved in disseminating misleading narratives and false information. The PTA indicated that these platforms were targeting Pakistan with the intent to manipulate public opinion and disrupt national unity.
This action is part of the PTA’s ongoing efforts to counter misinformation and promote the responsible use of digital platforms. The authority is committed to ensuring a safe and reliable internet environment for users in Pakistan.
The PTA further stated that it will continue to monitor online content and take strict action against any material that poses a threat to national interests.
