PTA further highlighted that the trailer of film was uploaded on Netflix and if it was uploaded on any other website then the authority would be strictly directed them to remove it.

PTA further suggested that a permanent ban should be implemented on Netflix for uploading a ‘sacrilegious’ film. Other than that, Google, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook should be instructed to open their franchises within six months in Pakistan.
Once all these social media platforms open their offices in Pakistan, it will get easy for PTA to implement its rules and regulations according to law.
Furthermore, the Islamabad High Court directed the PTA to submit another report and postponed the hearing for the next fourteen days.
