Pakistan temporarily blocks social media giant X

Pakistan confirms the shutdown of social media platform X, citing national security concerns, following difficulties in access since mid-February amid nationwide protests over alleged election rigging. The interior ministry, in a written court submission, mentions the ban as a response to X's failure to address misuse concerns, leading to a ban imposed in the interest of national security, public order, and the nation's integrity.

The Sindh High Court criticizes the decision, urging restoration within a week, emphasizing the triviality of the ban's achievements and potential global ridicule, amid widespread disruptions and mobile internet service cuts on polling day.
