Pahalgam Terror Attack: Shoaib Akhtar's YouTube channel banned in India
Following the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian government banned 16 Pakistani YouTube channels, including prominent news outlets, for allegedly spreading misinformation and inciting communal discord. Shoaib Akhtar's cricket-focused YouTube channel was also blocked amidst concerns over content regulation during sensitive times. The ban reflects efforts to curb divisive narratives, though Akhtar's content was primarily apolitical.
