The installation and testing of the firewall led to temporary disruptions in mobile signals and internet services. This initiative is part of a broader effort to address controversial content and counteract propaganda on social media.
After completion of firewall test, WhatsApp and Facebook will be restored within 2-3 days. The firewall’s deployment is a major move towards regulating online content and enhancing cybersecurity in Pakistan.
With new firewall in place, the firewall will allow authorities to have an eye on online activities to prevent the spread of dangerous content.
