Pakistan government's Twitter account withheld in India

The Pakistan government's official Twitter account has been withheld in India.

When anyone tries to access it, the website displays a message saying '@GovtofPakistan's account has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand.'

This is reportedly the third time when Pakistan's Twitter account has been restricted in India.

Earlier in October 2022, the Twitter account of the Pakistan government was withheld in India. It was withheld earlier in July as well but had been reactivated and was visible.
According to Twitter guidelines, the microblogging site takes such action in response to a valid legal demand, such as a court order.

In June last year, Twitter in India banned official accounts of Pakistan Embassies in the United Nations, Turkey, Iran and Egypt. In August, India blocked eight YouTube-based news channels, including one operating from Pakistan and one Facebook account for posting "fake, anti-India content" online.
