Complaints regarding sluggish internet services surfaced among the affected users.
Social media platforms ‘face disruption’ in parts of Pakistan. Users in Pakistan are facing difficulties as major social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, experienced disruptions throughout the week. The slow internet speed has led to challenges in downloading and uploading content, causing frustration among users.
While the government has not issued any official statement regarding the disruptions, citizens are expressing confusion and dismay over the sudden issues affecting their online activities.
NetBlocks, an organization monitoring internet censorship, reported on Twitter that disruptions were observed on national scales across platforms like YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. The slow internet speed has hindered users’ ability to engage seamlessly on these popular social media networks.
This incident comes at a time when the political landscape in Pakistan is active, with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led by Prime Minister Imran Khan recently initiating its second virtual meeting. PTI announced the scheduling of its second online gathering, which was set to be broadcast on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
