Businesses and News Makers Bear Brunt of Twitter Ban in Pakistan

Karachi: From business owners fretting over lost clients to journalists seeking new sources, Pakistanis want the government to restore regular access to the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, which has been blocked for nearly three weeks.

Authorities have blocked X - either partially or fully - since February 17 after protests swept the country over allegations of vote rigging in a general election, according to the Netblocks global internet monitor.
