@Margarita I will allow you to post a link for your claims.If you don't then you will receive a negative rating.


I get the feeling that noora league plans something sinister for their rivals online.They don't care about Anti-Islamic content.

Why are you always in such a hurry to give negative ratings ?

There's your link

Difficulty in navigating the modern world is quite understandable. It is really difficult to dictate to MNCs based on one's own concerns of throttling free speech.

Unless, of course, you are US, Germany, etc....

Facebook don't mind fake users. They only act when they lose Ad revenue. Just like Youtube who had every sh!t from bullying, abuse, racism to terrorism. Youtube creators were inactive, but when the Advertisers starts to pull off, suddenly there was some laws in place by youtube.

So, unless if you can talk with the advertisers in Facebook and pressure them to act against facebook. Nothing will happen. After all, all of this is business.

Good point, as soon as ad money was taken away google forgot about "freedom of speech". Just another hypocrite company out there. What really got them was anti-jew videos from white supremacists and not anti-islam etc

Good decision by facebook

Facebook has declined Pakistan’s request to pair mobile numbers with user’s account, a move that the government argue could help overcome the issue of fake accounts on the social network.

Responding to an email by VOA regarding the social media giant’s reaction to the request made by the Pakistan government, Facebook spokesperson Christine Chen said the company had declined the request in order to protect the rights of its users.

Doesn't FB already link accounts with phone numbers in western countries? Why they can't do the same in Pakistan?

Initially I thought that it is silly for a Govt to ask anything like that.
But on rethinking, it makes sense. Social media is a powerful weapon. There are not just cheaters and fraud who use such social platforms but lots of anti social elements as well.

Facebook has declined Pakistan’s request to pair mobile numbers with user’s account, a move that the government argue could help overcome the issue of fake accounts on the social network.

Responding to an email by VOA regarding the social media giant’s reaction to the request made by the Pakistan government, Facebook spokesperson Christine Chen said the company had declined the request in order to protect the rights of its users.

Pakistan asks Facebook to link accounts with mobile numbers

Earlier, Pakistan had asked Facebook to link the opening of accounts on the social network with mobile numbers in attempt to overcome the issue of fake accounts. The request came after efforts from the social network to counter and remove sacrilegious content from its platform.

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) argued that mobile numbers in the country were verified through biometric verification system while Facebook accounts could be opened simply through an email. The issue of fake accounts could then be overcome if all existing accounts are verified with phone numbers.

Facebook assures purge of anti-Islamic content

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali had also met Facebook Vice President Joel Kaplan to discuss steps and actions to take in order to remove the content that is illegal in Pakistan.

Facebook, on its part, had reiterated its commitment to keep the platform safe and promote values that are in congruence with its community standards and showed its commitment to remove fake accounts, explicit, hateful and provocative material that incites violence and terrorism.
