X services restored in Pakistan after months-long ban
Pakistan on Wednesday said that it has restored the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, services after months-long ban in the South Asian country.
“Confirmed: Metrics show access to X (formerly Twitter) has been restored in #Pakistan as conflict breaks out with neighbouring India,” Internet monitor NetBlocks said on X.
Islamabad blocked the social media platform in February 2025 after the general elections in the country.
Later in July, the government told a local court that X was a “threat to the national security” and could not restore it.
An Anadolu correspondent in Pakistan also confirmed that the platform is now working without the VPN.
