💨 Abstract

The Peshawar High Court in Pakistan has ordered the Ministry of Interior to explain why it blocked a social media platform X (formerly Twitter) nationwide. The petitioner argues that the block violates constitutional and legal rights, as X is a vital platform for communication, public discourse, and information sharing, particularly for youth, journalists, businesses, and government officials. The IT sector and opportunities for Pakistani youth are said to be negatively impacted by the block.
