Pakistan has implemented blocks on websites that are critical of the government or the military. These restrictions are frequently justified under the pretext of limiting access to "blasphemous" content, pornography, or material deemed religiously immoral.

This practice of censorship reflects broader efforts to control information and suppress dissenting voices in the digital space.
