ISLAMABAD: The trial of the new Internet Security Network System in Pakistan has slowed down not only social media applications but also the speed of the Internet and the authorities have also confirmed this.
Officials involved in the installation of the new internet security network confirmed that the internet was slowing down due to the ‘firewall’ test.
Officials said that the ‘firewall’ system has been installed and is being tested, but it is not clear how long the test will continue and when the country’s internet network will be transferred to the new system.
According to the report, the installation of the ‘firewall’ system in the country was started in January 2024 and after its installation, the trial has now started.
Due to the trial of the new system, not only social media but also Internet speed has slowed down in the country and many people are facing difficulties not only in running WhatsApp but also in running other social media apps and websites.
