The Pakistani government has vowed to intensify efforts to curb terrorist activities on social media platforms. In a statement released today, the Ministry of Interior announced that security agencies will take strict action against individuals and groups using online platforms to spread extremist propaganda, recruit for terrorist organizations, and incite violence.
The government has acknowledged the growing influence of social media in the radicalization process, particularly among vulnerable youth, and emphasized the importance of monitoring digital spaces to prevent the spread of hate and terror-related content. In collaboration with law enforcement agencies and international partners, authorities plan to implement advanced surveillance technologies to identify and track terrorist networks operating online.
Authorities have warned that those found guilty of promoting terrorism or supporting extremist activities on social media will face severe legal consequences, including prosecution under anti-terrorism laws. The government is also urging social media companies to take immediate action against content that violates Pakistan’s laws and poses a threat to national security.
The crackdown is part of broader efforts to combat extremism in Pakistan, with the government pledging increased resources for counterterrorism operations both online and offline.
