The government is moving to regulate social media platforms, with plans to implement a categorization-based regulatory framework pending Federal Cabinet approval. New regulations will mandate data storage within Pakistan and require license holders to provide location and general information upon request.

Additionally, officials have suggested that ongoing work on a firewall might be contributing to the current service issues.
