“Pakistan’s Internet Lockdown – The Hidden Costs of Cyber Security”

-

Pakistan’s internet is facing major disruptions disguised as cybersecurity improvements.

This has affected daily life, businesses, and freelancers amid ongoing political and economic issues.

Originally, the internet was meant to be open and free. However, countries like Russia and China have created controlled versions of the internet.

Pakistan is now struggling to manage its own version amid shifting alliances and unclear policies.

Recent slowdowns, attributed to system updates, have led to confusion and denial of government blockades.

The economic impact is significant, with losses estimated at $300 million and companies considering moving away due to unstable internet.

Restrictions, like blocking certain platforms, are raising concerns about freedom and economic stability.

Experts warn that internet control often clashes with national security, and Pakistan’s heavy-handed approach is drawing international criticism.

The internet’s importance in daily life makes it hard to control completely. The current restrictions are harming both citizens and Pakistan’s global reputation.
