Pakistan's Muslim leader supports ban on VPN use
The Council of Islamic Ideology of Pakistan has approved the VPN ban, arguing that it protects religion, national unity and the fight against terrorism.
The Council of Islamic Ideology of Pakistan has supported a government ban on the use of VPNs. The head of the Council, Raghib Naimi, said that Islam allows state intervention to prevent the spread of "vice", especially if it offends religion or threatens national unity. The main reason for the ban was the increase in the use of VPNs to bypass the blocking of the social network X (formerly Twitter) by supporters of deposed Prime Minister Imran Khan. According to the authorities, VPNs are used to coordinate protests, as well as by terrorist groups, including the Balochistan Liberation Army, which has become more active in recent months. The ban has caused lively controversy, but the authorities emphasize that such measures are necessary to ensure security and stability in the country.
