🇮🇳🔥 India’s “Pak Social Media Ban” Wasn’t Lifted — Just a Glitch! 😲

TL;DRYesterday (July 2, 2025), many Pakistani YouTube channels and celebrity Instagram/Twitter accounts briefly became visible in India. 🚨 But the very next day, the Indian government confirmed it was a “system glitch” — the bans from April’s Pahalgam terror attack still stand strong. 🎯 This created a big buzz online, with film bodies demanding a total blackout. What’s really cooking? Let’s break it down 👇

🧩 What Exactly Happened?

• After the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack blamed on Pakistan, India banned 16 Pakistani YouTube channels and social handles of celebs. The ban claimed these channels spread #Misinformation 🗣️, #CommunalContent ⚔️, and posed a #NationalSecurity threat.

• On July 2, a strange glitch happened! 🤯 Suddenly, Indians could access Instagram pages of stars like Mawra Hocane, Yumna Zaidi, Ahad Raza Mir, Danish Taimoor and more. Even big YouTube channels like Hum TV and ARY Digital popped up.

• By July 3, everything got blocked again. Govt said it was a pure “system glitch” — not a policy change. 💻❌

🤔 Public & Industry Reactions

• All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) called this a slap to the martyrs 💔 and demanded a permanent #DigitalBlackout of Pakistani content.

• Young netizens were confused and angry. Many said it was “#Frustrating, #Weird and totally #Confusing.”

• Some smaller Pakistani celeb accounts were visible, while big names like Hania Aamir, Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan stayed blocked.

📊 Quick Data Snapshot

🇵🇰 Category	🔒 Status Before July 2	👀 Visible on July 2	🔒 Status July 3
Celeb IG/X	Blocked since May	Briefly visible	Blocked again
Entertainment YouTube	Blocked since April	Briefly visible	Re-blocked
News YouTube	Blocked since April	Still blocked	Still blocked

🧭 What Govt Clarified

• Officials said nearly “14,000 #Accounts” are under watch, but none were unblocked officially. 🧐

• The visibility was due to a #TechnicalError, not any hidden handshake.

• Restrictions are still active under #ITRules2021, enforced after Operation Sindoor.

💬 MediaFx Perspective

From the people’s point of view, this glitch shows how digital power is used to control what working-class folks see and hear. 🌐💔 While #Security is super important, sudden and secretive #Blocking only creates more mistrust. Real peace needs honest #Dialogue, not hidden bans.

🔚 Bottomline

That sudden access on July 2 wasn’t a decision — just a glitch in the matrix. The social media blackout on Pakistani news and celeb channels since April is still fully in place. Expect tighter digital controls in the days ahead as the govt continues its “#SecurityFirst” approach.

MediaFx Opinion: Everyday folks deserve clarity, not confusion. The government should be transparent about bans instead of blaming “technical glitches.” Only honesty builds trust and peace for ordinary people. ✊
