The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has blocked 16 Indian YouTube news channels, 31 video links, and 32 websites for allegedly spreading false information and anti-Pakistan narratives.
In a press release issued Wednesday, the PTA stated that the banned content was promoting misleading and harmful narratives intended to manipulate public perception and threaten national unity. The move comes amid rising regional tensions, with the authority reaffirming its commitment to securing Pakistan’s digital environment.
