No Law to Ban Social Media for Under-16s, PTA Tells High Court

In a case before the Islamabad High Court regarding a potential social media ban for children under 16, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has submitted its official response. The authority clarified that no legal framework currently exists to enforce such a ban. The PTA maintained that it cannot create age verification systems as this would exceed its legal authority. A report presented in court has emphasized the need for new policies to protect children online.
