Several top Pakistani cricketers, including Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, have had their official Instagram accounts restricted in India, following a legal directive. When Indian users attempt to access their profiles, they are met with the message: “Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content.”

“We received a legal request to restrict this content. We reviewed it against our policies and conducted a legal and human rights assessment. After the review, we restricted access to the content in the location where it goes against local law," further elaborated Instagram.
