India Orders Immediate Ban on Pakistani Content Across Platforms Amid Escalating Cross-Border Tensions
India bans all Pakistani content on streaming platforms amid rising tensions, citing national security and public order concerns after recent attacks.
It extends to both subscription-based and free platforms, covering any material that may be deemed to threaten India’s sovereignty, integrity, security, public order, or relations with foreign states. In recent weeks, India has blocked 16 Pakistani YouTube channels, including major networks such as Geo News, ARY, Bol, and Samaa TV, accusing them of spreading “misleading and provocative” content about the Indian armed forces and stoking tensions over Kashmir. The ban arrives at a time when digital content consumption in India is at an all-time high, and Pakistani dramas, in particular, had found a niche audience among Indian viewers on select streaming platforms.
