> Instead, the tech giants banded together and threatened to leave the country and
> its 70 million internet users in digital darkness. Their public rebellion,
> combined with pressure and lawsuits from local civil libertarians, forced the
> government to retreat. The law remains on the books, but Pakistani officials
> pledged this week to review the regulations and undertake an “extensive and
> broad-based consultation process with all relevant segments of civil society and
> technology companies.”
