The Pakistani government has decided to take a significant step towards controlling negative propaganda on social media by installing advanced firewalls. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has invited bids for the installation of next-generation firewalls to handle this task.
The new firewall system will allow the government to monitor and filter data at the application level, which means it will be able to control the flow of information on social media platforms. This move is aimed at combating and preventing the spread of harmful propaganda.
The system will include real-time data monitoring and filtering capabilities, which will enhance the government’s ability to manage online content effectively. The PTA has already issued advertisements calling for bids from internet service providers to install these firewalls.
While the PTA has declined to provide further details or comments, it is clear that this initiative is part of a broader effort to regulate social media and curb negative content. The new technology is expected to offer improved protection and monitoring of online data.
