Bad title. Pakistan is censoring their own country.

I thought some other country was fucking with their internet

Also, the VPN's what? It's basic grammar to know when to use a possessive S instead of a plural S.

I hear you, but using apostrophes after plural acronyms and abbreviations is accepted practice in modern English grammar. Here's a link to a more detailed explanation.

Personally, I only do that if the acronym is lowercase. Also, it's about orthography, not grammar :)

Orthography. TIL

Who does? It's ever-changing. I still instinctively use two spaces after periods.
