Section 37 is as absurd as article 19 w.r.t. definitions of national interest or indecency or anything they want to define themselves

I do think Zoha has brought up an important point regarding good v/s bad citizens, and PTA appealing to a certain (and perhaps majoritarian) group of people.

Section 37 should be repealed period.

PTA could have contacted Twitter actually.

The technology that goes upon their(PTA) head they ban it!

And the hashtag that suddenly popped up in support of PTA is also suspect.

True, vague laws...

So I don't agree that PTA might not have anything to do with this.

What can we do now about this ban, with the IHC order explicitly asking PTA to lift the PUB-G ban and PTA refusing to do so?

Yes -- PTA stop acting like a parent!!

Finaly something useful from fakebook

Faltu log... jinko android sahi se chalana nhi ata wo ab PUBG ban kr rhy hain

Participation in e-sports is also a key factor.

Why is it that PTA keeps banning content without any warning or explanation? What can be done to stop these arbitrary bans?

Yesss PTA needs to stop playing our parent.

Good information.....spot on Amal

Well done Amal!!

And these ideas are regressive in the global digital environment. Rather than using these platforms to allow more diverse digital content and get ahead in the digital age, these bans just put us far behind the whole world.

Completely agree. for a lot of women, these are apps where they can express themselves freely. I understand that these spaces must be made safe for women, but banning is no solution

Don't think there can be local alternatives. We would be disconnected from the rest of the world and it will become easier for the Govt to regulate and promote its own narrative

How is obscenity defined? Can the definition of obscenity that applies of PTV for instance can also be applied on the Internet? Should these generic terms be used to block content online?

and did that ever put a stop to harassment and rapes?
