Web Desk: Social media platform X has shut down the account of Mir Yar Baloch, which was being used to circulate false and fabricated information about Pakistan and state institutions, particularly the Pakistan Army, according to sources.
The account had reportedly remained active in sharing posts critical of Pakistan and its state institutions. The account repeatedly disseminated misleading information targeting the country and its security institutions.
According to the sources, content posted through the account frequently criticised Pakistan and state institutions, with the military being a particular focus.
The sources said the account continued to share what they described as fabricated claims despite repeated activity on the platform. The account was subsequently shut down by X.
The reported closure comes amid allegations that the account was being used to spread misinformation against Pakistan and its state institutions.
The account’s shutdown has drawn attention to the growing scrutiny of social media content involving state institutions. However, the allegations against the account and the precise grounds for X’s action could not independently be verified.
X has not publicly provided details in the information available about the account’s suspension or the specific posts that may have prompted the action.
