This decision was made under rules that allow India to block online content that may affect national safety or spread wrong messages. The government believes that some of these accounts were used to spread fake news or harmful ideas.
India’s Ministry of Information and Technology used emergency powers to stop people in India from watching certain videos and channels. This includes not only the Prime Minister’s YouTube channel but also other digital pages linked to Pakistan.
Such actions are part of how countries protect themselves on the internet. Just like we follow rules in real life, countries also have to follow digital safety rules online. This news helps us understand how serious online safety has become for nations around the world.
