The claim
Pakistan's IT Minister claimed that recent internet disruptions in Pakistan are not being caused by any kind of firewall installation or ‘web management system’ upgradation. Another PMLN leader claimed the UK and US also have a firewall similar to the one being installed in Pakistan right now.
Rating
FALSE. PMLN leader Barrister Danyal Chaudhry and IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khwaja have both made false statements regarding Pakistan’s internet landscape and the global internet firewall apparatus.
