Already doxxed and ordered disconnection for half a million of its own citizens suspected of not paying their share

The country has already taken the extraordinary step of naming over 506,000 of its citizens whom local authorities believe have not filed taxes, listing the numbers associated with SIM cards they're thought to use, and ordering those SIMs be disabled until their tax affairs are in order.

Pakistan's list includes an order that the nation's Telecommunication Authority and all local carriers must ensure the listed SIMs are blocked. The budget also added a provision to increase withholding taxes on the use of mobile phones from 15 percent to 75 percent for those who have failed to get their affairs in order.
