LahoreTwo lawyers ask Pakistan’s court to bar under-16s from social media.

The petition says no Pakistani law requires age verification for social media users.

It asks the court to order the government to amend the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act with age verification.

A registrar’s office had declared the petition not maintainable before Justice Aamer Farooq overruled it.

Justice Aamer Farooq’s Federal Constitutional Court bench sits on 6 November, with notices issued to the federal government.
