Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has instructed telecommunications operators in the country to filter SMS messages that include words that it considers objectionable. Civil rights groups in Pakistan have criticized the move.

The rules come into force Monday, but this is not a deadline as operators still have to integrate the hardware and software, and test their systems.”]
