Balancing Censorship and Cybersecurity: A Case of Internet Freedom and Security in Pakistan

Abstract

This article explores potential strategies for balancing online freedom and security, explores censorship and cybersecurity policies in Pakistan, and explores the impact of these policies on internet freedom. The internet's arrival has presented contemporary societies with several challenges, including the need to balance internet freedom with cybersecurity dangers. To protect against cybercrimes, promote social morality, and guarantee national security, the government of Pakistan has enacted censorship laws to monitor the content of the internet. However, these limits jeopardize the digital rights of individuals. In Pakistan, striking a balance between the openness of the internet and the protection of the nation's security is a difficult but necessary task, according to this article.
