Pakistan has successfully completed the second trial of its social media firewall, aimed at regulating online content and strengthening national security.
Internet service providers have implemented firewalls capable of blocking social media apps and restricting audio and video downloads.
Sources informed Raised by Numbers that the installation and trial of the firewall temporarily disrupted mobile signals and internet services. This effort is part of a broader strategy to curb controversial content and propaganda on social media platforms.
Equipped with deep packet inspection capabilities, the firewall can identify and block IP addresses associated with anti-state propaganda. This initiative is designed to safeguard national security and promote online harmony.
Social media services are expected to return to normal within two to three days. The firewall installation represents a significant step towards regulating online content and ensuring a secure digital environment in Pakistan.
