The Spin

Pro-government narrative

These YouTube channels were spreading dangerous anti-state propaganda and fake information that threatened national security and public order. The court acted appropriately under existing cybercrime laws to protect Pakistan's institutions from defamatory content that could incite unrest and undermine the dignity of state officials and armed forces.

GEOThe Nation

Government-critical narrative

This is a blatant attack on press freedom and constitutional rights, with the government using vague cybercrime laws to silence critical voices without due process. The wholesale blocking of entire channels based on one-sided evidence violates the fundamental principles of natural justice and sets a dangerous precedent for digital censorship.
