Pakistan Compares X Ban to Looming US Ban on TikTok | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Pakistan's government has defended its decision to ban the social media platform X, saying it was necessary for national security and integrity. The ban was first imposed in early February during Pakistan's elections that were widely reported to be unfair and rigged. Critics say the ban is aimed at silencing Imran Khan's supporters who are quite active on X. When asked about this ban, Pakistan's foreign minister compared his government's action to the looming ban on TikTok in the United States. Last weekend, the US House had passed a bill to force TikTok to sell its American business or face a ban. Is it justifiable for governments to ban or curb social media platforms? Palki Sharma tells you.
