As the world shifts towards digitisation, Pakistan’s progress appears uncertain. Our neighbouring country, India, earns over $200 billion annually from software exports, whereas Pakistan earns around $3.2 billion, despite lacking substantial government support. In recent months, Pakistan has witnessed attempts to restrict internet connectivity and social media access. The digital space faces numerous challenges, including internet shutdowns, slowed social media apps, and blocked platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Pakistan’s economy is currently debt-ridden, with a growing population and increasing employment challenges. Restricting the digital space will only exacerbate these issues. By adopting a less restrictive approach, Pakistan can unlock its digital potential, drive economic growth, and improve the lives of its citizens.
