Contrary to what many of us think about the Government of Pakistan and PTA playing Big Brother and censoring the internet, the actual picture – at least as far as Twitter is concerned – is quite different. According to Twitter’s most recent transparency report, over half of the 796 requests by a government to Twitter to delete a tweet during the July-December 2014 period came from Turkey. Pakistan ranked among the lowest in this, making only four such requests (none of which were complied with by Twitter). By contrast, India made 15 such requests (and Twitter acted only on one of them). Throughout 2014, Pakistan made 15 such requests, far lower than most of the other countries surveyed.
