Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have reportedly gone down again in Pakistan,
with users unable to access the platforms. This is not the first time that
these platforms have faced disruptions in Pakistan, with the government
previously imposing temporary bans on social media apps during times of
political unrest. It is unclear what is causing the current outage, and the
companies have not yet provided a statement on the matter. Some users have
suggested that the outage may be related to ongoing clashes between the
Pakistani government and the country’s social media influencers over new
regulations that require them to register with the government and obtain a
license.
