Several social media users reacted to the new government's rules, in which Federal Minister Fawad Chaudhry wrote in his tweet responding to a user, "How did these laws go against the freedom of the media?"

He said digital media advertising would be higher than traditional media. He said that no country can afford to spread money without a framework, so the government's decision on social media platforms is not political.
