The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has said that it has restricted access to Wikipedia for Pakistanis for 48 hours.
In a series of tweets from its official Twitter account, PTA said that the free online encyclopedia had “sacrilegious” content, despite being asked by PTA to remove it.
The restoration of its services will only be considered if they block or remove unlawful content. However, PTA did not specify which contents it deemed unlawful.
The authority also hinted that Wikipedia may face a permanent block in Pakistan if the platform does not remove or block the content as directed by PTA.
