YouTube was shut down in Pakistan during Imran Khan’s speech in Peshawar users across the country.
Internet tracker Net Blocks tweeted: “Metrics confirm that YouTube is disrupted on multiple internet providers in #Pakistan as former prime minister Imran Khan live streams; the restrictions come despite the lifting of PEMRA’s ban on Khan’s speeches by the Islamabad High Court.”
Ahead of the former prime minister’s address, multiple users had started complaining on Twitter that the streaming website was not working for them. #YouTubeDown also emerged as a top trend on the microblogging website Twitter.
In response to the reported blockage, PTI turned to Facebook and Twitter to air its chairman’s speech.
