ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has blocked 16 Indian YouTube news channels, 31 YouTube video links, and 32 websites for disseminating false information and anti-Pakistan propaganda.
This action has been taken in light of the prevailing regional situation to safeguard national security and protect Pakistan’s digital ecosystem, the telecom regulator said in a statement.
The blocked content was found to be spreading misleading and harmful narratives aimed at manipulating public perception and undermining national unity. This move is part of PTA’s continued efforts to combat disinformation and ensure the responsible use of digital platforms.
