Fiverr Temporarily Disables Pakistani Freelancers' Accounts Amid Ongoing Internet Disruptions

Fiverr, the world's leading freelancing platform, has temporarily disabled the accounts of Pakistani freelancers due to persistent internet disruptions across the country.

This move comes as millions of people have reported slow or limited access to social media platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram over the past week.

Pakistani freelancers received notifications from Fiverr stating that their gigs were deactivated to prevent delays from affecting their ratings.

While this action is temporary and won't impact their Fiverr ratings, freelancers can reactivate their status if their internet service improves.

The situation has sparked anger among freelancers, who blame the government's restrictions on social media and attempts to implement a firewall for the ongoing connectivity issues.

Pakistan's freelancing community, which generates over $500 million annually, is among the top four in the world, making this disruption a significant setback.
