No doubt, PTA is doing marvelous work when it comes to curbing hatred, and fake and immoral content on social media. However, people are also playing their part by reporting such accounts. The main reason behind such postings is just to defame the image of the country since such posts are shared by people throughout the world.
Other than this, PTA is also working hard to restore the telecommunication services in flood-affected areas in collaboration with telecom operators.

Vote ko izzat do walay gadhay aaj kal ye kr rahe hein. These mofos think this will stop ppl? This leads to more and more hatred, the PDM and army have shown their real ugly face.
They r trying to turn Pakistan into iran (minus the economic prosperity) or Egypt, where the ppl r scared of the brutality of state. They forget that Pakistan is a multi ethnic country and using brutality will only break it apart.

Introspection

Banning 1 million accounts

Cause state without an army rarely survives so we desperately want them to get better

Have they ever shown this intent in the past against people openly supporting terror orgs like pro-TTP/BLA?

I am not being emotional but I genuinely don't think they care about the country

Reading this thread would make it clear as daylight

Terrorists block Babusar road, take GB minister and two foreigners hostage

I remember posting a video clip on this forum last year, where this militant commander was giving interview to a media guy near Babusar top, and it was repeatedly deleted as propaganda, even after BBC urdu reported on the incident. I was also issued warnings to not post it again, I believe The...

Ethno nats used to say they're punjabi army, some extent I can understand but Maryam Nawaz called em the names I can't repeat and pretty much no one in Punjab except for some middle aged uncles nowadays have soft feelings towards the generals- PMLn or PTI supporters

It's very complicated after VNC, I don't know what'll happen in the country

Na ugli jaaye, na nigle jaaye waala scene hai

vote ko ezat do wala ho ya meer sadiq meer jafir kahny wala hr bnda apni he game khailny k chkr ma lga hoa hai. youth ko bs whatsapp groups ma khania phailany or sun'ny per lgaya hoa hai.

Each and every youngster is taking stand of PTI and some are taking site of PMLN. Non of them is thinking about their own future and future of Pakistan. As a nation what is our future no one knows and no one is giving priority to it.

 

[Jango]

Wait. How can PTA block any social media ccount?

Or does the social media company block them after a PTA request?

 

[Trango Towers]

They will block the accounts but not change their ways

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

It is not possible individual accounts

Each account is created with cell phone validation
Social media does not listen to Pakistani Army or police

If Twitter /Facebook / TikTok/Instagram had local Pakistani office and it was account made in Pakistan

Also blocking and unblocking requires special control over international company, such measures do not exist as most social media companies would leave Pakistan's business sector rather than to comply with anti-free speech mandate

However no International Social Media company trusts Pakistan Enough to open their operation office in Pakistan

Foreign accounts unfortunately don't follow under Pakistani Jurisdiction
