The Pahalgam terrorist attack resulted in continued venomous rhetoric from Pakistani YouTubers and social media influencers against India. As a response, the Indian government took action by restricting such YouTube channels and influencers. Before this, India had restricted some Pakistani news outlets, including Dawn, Samaa TV, ARY News, Geo News, Razi Nama, and Suno News YouTube channels.
