For more than four days, X services are “largely restricted” in Pakistan.

After more than 90 hours, Pakistanis are unable to access platform. Info minister refuses to comment; PTA remains silent on shutdown. Blocking powers can only be exercised by PTA, says rights activist.

The services of popular social networking site X, previously Twitter, have been largely limited in Pakistan for nearly four days beginning Saturday, according to NetBlocks, a global internet watchdog.

The government is still keeping quiet about the disturbance, which began on Saturday last week.

While boasting one of the world’s largest internet user populations, Pakistan ranks poorly in terms of internet availability, and officials reportedly disrupt access to social media platforms on occasion.

Before the February 8 general elections, users were unable to access various social media sites, which officials blamed on an error. However, on election day, the internet was turned off to prevent terrorism, according to the caretaker government. Following the sought-after surveys, there were recurrent difficulties in access.

Internet shutdowns violate constitutionally protected rights such as freedom of information (Article 19-A), freedom of speech (Article 19), and freedom of association (Article 17). The Islamabad High Court ruled in February 2018 that internet shutdowns violate fundamental human rights and the constitution.

Geo.tv contacted caretaker Information Minister Murtaza Solangi, who answered via WhatsApp: “Please contact Minister Information Technology and Chairman PTA.” We also got no reaction from the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA).

Farieha Aziz, a digital rights activist and journalist, told Geo.tv that the X restriction remains in place despite the PTA and interim government’s failure to acknowledge it.

Instead, she claimed, there is diversion from all sides, while the “prime minister and the IT minister are using VPNs to post on X”.
