islamabad:
Social media platform .
“We continue to work with the government of Pakistan and understand their concerns,” Company X's Global Government Affairs team posted in its first comment since the site was suspended.
The platform, formerly known as Twitter, was launched on February 17, when jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's party called for protests after government officials admitted vote rigging in February's election. Since then, it has remained almost inaccessible.
Pakistan's Interior Ministry said on Wednesday that X was being blocked for security reasons, according to a report filed in the Islamabad High Court, where one of several challenges to the ban is being heard.
On the same day, the Sindh High Court ordered the government to restore access to social media platform X within a week.
“The Sindh High Court has given the government one week to withdraw the letter, but if it does not, appropriate orders will be passed on the next date,” said a lawyer challenging the ban. Moiz Jaaferi told AFP.
The court's decision is expected to be announced this week.
