Pakistan Government's Twitter Account Once Again Withheld In India

The cause for the move is yet to be ascertained and the IT ministry has not responded to the move.

The official Twitter account of the Pakistan government has been withheld in India but the cause of the move and a response from the IT ministry is yet to be received. 

A message is displayed, "Account Withheld @GovtofPakistan's account has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand", whenever someone tries to access the Twitter account of the Pakistan government. 

According to a notice served by the social media giant, the government's Twitter account has been blocked from being viewed in India in response to a legal demand.

The guidelines of the company are framed in such a way that they can compel it to withhold entire accounts in response to a valid legal demand, such as a court order.

However, this is not the first time that the government's Twitter account has been withheld. It was also withhed once in October 2022 and once in July.
