    WhatsApp and Social Media anarchy: Internet speed of Pakistan gets cut

    WhatsApp and Social Media anarchy: Internet speed of Pakistan gets cut

    In daily living in a society growing ever more linked by the day, a loss in internet access can seem to be a seismic shift. Millions of Pakistanis today felt just that as WhatsApp among other social media sites dramatically slowed down and generally internet connectivity obviously decreased. Here is what happened, why it matters, and how daily digital life is impacted.

    Social Media Suffers!

    Early reports started to flood in as people all throughout Pakistan observed reduced internet speeds. Among the often used websites displaying sluggish performance including delays in message delivery, loading feeds, and sharing of multimedia assets were WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram.

    Many especially affected as WhatsApp offers a lifeline for contacts—personal and business. Dependent on businesses, independent contractors, and quick access, people suffered in their social life and at their jobs.

    Why these explosions are happening

    Though at the time of writing no official warning has been issued, technical problems or deliberate throttling by government or service providers usually help to explain such instances. Most likely, cybersecurity experts believe, these slowdowns result from too high internet traffic or maintenance operations.

    Political events, security regulations, or infrastructure problems have sometimes interfered with the internet in erstwhile Pakistan. Still, millions of people search for answers since the exact beginning of the present issue is uncertain.

    Changing platforms and slower internet connections have consequences in the domains of entertainment and content creation as well. For bloggers, streamers, and social media influencers reaching their audience mostly depends on continuous internet services.

    The turbulence of today makes it rather clear how much the internet shapes our life. Participants—government agencies, service providers, consumers themselves—have to cooperate if we are to lower such future disruptions.
