Pakistan on Friday, 16 April, ordered a temporary shutdown of social media after days of violent anti-France protests in the country, reported AFP. The temporary ban will be in place from 11 am to 3 pm on Friday.
The suspension comes ahead of more expected protests amid the crackdown against the extremist Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan’s supporters protesting the ban against the group.
