In a baffling move, Senator Bahramand Khan Tangi has proposed slamming the door shut on the digital age by suggesting a permanent ban on all social media platforms. Senator Tangi’s resolution contends that social media platforms are undermining the younger generation, promoting values contrary to our religious and cultural ethos. In an era where the rest of the world is hurtling forward into a digital future, such proposals only serve to make Pakistan a global laughingstock. PTA should work in tandem with industry stakeholders to strike a delicate balance between security and fostering a thriving digital environment. It is time to embrace the digital era with thoughtful regulation and strategic planning, ensuring that our nation remains a dynamic participant in the global digital landscape.
