💨 Abstract

Pakistan's Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) faced criticism for labeling the use of VPNs to access blocked content on the internet as 'un-Islamic'. Digital rights activists and some religious scholars opposed the decision, with a prominent scholar suggesting labeling mobile phones as 'un-Islamic' instead. Critics accused the government of being ruled by an "incompetent and corrupt elite".
