Rahman highlighted that social media platforms have largely complied with PTA regulations, with a 93% compliance rate—except for X (formerly Twitter), which is only meeting 27% of regulatory requirements. He clarified that decisions regarding the potential closure of X lie with the federal government, and the platform will be fully restored upon its request.

Addressing concerns about internet shutdowns, Rahman pointed out that Pakistan experienced seven shutdowns in 2023, significantly fewer than India’s 116. He emphasized that while he opposes such measures, national security remains the top priority.
