The Express Tribune has been inundated with hundreds of messages from our readers and well-wishers regarding a fake Facebook page that is impersonating the publication.

The Facebook page, which has stolen design elements from us, includingThe Express Tribune’s trademark red ‘T’, has garnered over 3,000 Facebook likes.

While we strive to remedy the problem, we thank our readers for informing us about the serious violation of our intellectual property.
We have already reported the impostor page to Facebook and hope quick action will be taken against those who have sought to harm The Express Tribune’s image as a trusted news source across Pakistan and the world.

Unfortunately, there is only so much we can do at this time. The problem of fake news on social media platforms such as Facebook is a real and damaging one. In this case, it hurts not just The Express Tribunebut also creates chaos and confusion among the public.

The Express Tribune’s official Facebook page has a verified blue tick and nearly 2 million followers.

This is disgusting.

The lengths these people will go to is just astonishing. What a sad obsession.

 

[maximuswarrior]

Not surprised. Indians are a desperate people. These people would to go extreme lengths. Desperate attempts to sow division and hatred.

 

[Tipu7]

Indians have set new records for being pathetic.
Not surprised to see such rubbish from these low lives.
I Noticed this fake page week ago. Among all its likes, most are Indians & Afghans.
I wonder how this nation manage so much free time to run propaganda of that level on social media, by creating hundred of fake IDs of Baloch/Sindhi/Pashtun/Afghan/American people. You can notice them randomly on other pages of electronic media in comment section where many ID's with fake info and 2-3 friends max are being used to create mass hate about Pakistan. Literally the ''misery'' of these people is beyond imaginations..................

Don't worry. We know that Afghans and Indians are our enemies. We have a clear plan to expel Afghans from Pakistan and seal the border. Indians are going to keep screaming and burning whilst we continue our excellent work with China. That is all they can do. LOL fake Facebook pages is all these desperate people can create.

Is this Real or just some Mock up ?

 

[Djinn]

Is this Real or just some Mock up ?

Created by some loser or losers from Bhaaarut, in their sordid lives they have nothing better to do except to devote all their time to Pakistan obsession.

 

[Khanate]

Indiots.

Is this Real or just some Mock up ?

The "news" is fake, the page is real.

You will often hear some bharatis tell me that most bharatis don't care about Pakistan and only care about the terrorism from Pakistan and whatnot. I've always told them that bharatis are obsessed with almost all aspects of Pakistan, and this is the reason why. I've seen so many bharatis obsess with Pakistan in a way no other nationality obsesses with any other nationality It's not just about the obsession - they literally can't fathom the fact that there's a thing called Pakistan and want it to disappear ASAP. Seriously insecure people the bharatis are.

 

[The Sandman]

Those people who're behind this just a hit a new low seriously they didn't even spared that plane crash if you're reading this than let me tell you that you're the real SCUMS OF THE EARTH the lowest of the lowest the obsession is just getting stronger and stronger.

 

[WaLeEdK2]

They're getting more creative day by day but this is a new low.

 

[saiyan0321]

Pathetic and downright disgusting but what's shocking is their obsession with us. They are completely obsessed and want to break us up. Quite sad really as in their pathetic low lives all they can garner is some semblance of happiness by doing this before they go back to their regular life of being beaten by their father's, failing in classes and getting yelled by their jobs while they realize their jobs and life are pathetic. This is their only solace.

They are madly trying to drive a wedge between all of us. They want to make brother fight brother. These characters are truly pathetic. They attack Islam, they attack pakistan. The funny thing is that thosr Americanized afghans who haven't spent a day in Afghanistan and haven't done anything to help their country, like and comment on these pages against pakistan from a moral.high ground.

Let them die with their depression
