Pakistan | Escalating Internet Censorship

Pakistan is intensifying internet censorship by introducing a nationwide internet firewall and imposing stringent compliance requirements on Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority plans to screen and approve state-compliant VPNs. While the government cites national security as a reason for this action, critics and digital rights activists argue that these measures enhance the regime’s ability to monitor and control internet activity. The impact of these restrictions extends beyond communication barriers. They can also impact access to financial services, for example, by cutting off access to alternative currencies like Bitcoin (which have provided a liferaft for many Pakistanis but which was restricted in 2018). These policies contribute to a troubling pattern of digital and financial repression for the 235 million Pakistanis living under a hybrid authoritarian regime. Similar measures have been observed in China and Iran, where the regimes exert internet controls to suppress dissent and maintain their power. FinancialFreedomReport.org
