Pakistan: Facebook and Nayatel to offer internet access to 15 million citizens across 8 cities

[PakPrinciples]

Facebook is a f*cking cancer, throw them and all foreign particularly western, social media out of the country and replace them with local alternatives.

Those local alternatives aren't difficult to make and Pakistan would benefit immeasurably more than it ever will partnering with or allowing foreign social media apps to operate in our country.

These people will actively spy on our people, manipulate our population with Western propaganda all the while fighting against our interests.

What the hell is wrong with this government?

Did everyone forget about what happens when you let foreign nations build and gain access to your IT infrastructure/networks?
China “gifted” the African Union a headquarters building and then allegedly bugged it for state secrets

Every nation is responsible for itself and you can't blame foreigners for wanting to manipulate your people just like we would had we been in their shoes. It's the responsibility of our nation to protect our people.

NOTHING is free, everything comes with a price and in this case it's Pakistan's independence and freedom from foreign manipulation, interference and spying.

many of these applications should be banned from usage in key sensitive departments, military and associated personnel.

As per my knowledge on upper level in military, they use communications apps made by pak military,
but i have heard common soldiers are using smart phones, means any app.

but i think our politicians want to monitor these apps not for country security, but for opposition or against critics/public.

Almost all companies share data with governments, otherwise they can not work in any country.

2nd Facebook is investing, we should appreciate it. It can only share facebook or whatsapp data. There are 30-40 ISP in Pakistan, so sharing data via internet is useless [ i mean requesting from FB by GOVT].

For example, Signal which is alternative of Whatsapp/facebook, which is considered best in terms of privacy and features, but no one is using it in Pakistan. you can see mobile operating companies offering Whatsapp, facebook, but not Signal. It does not mean no one is using it in Pakistan, reality is if offer like "4GB Monthly Signal Offer", Half of users of whatsapp will migrate to Signal.

Current PM want to spy users via so called "Registration of VPNs", And people often visit those sites which government banned, who will register the vpn? i think they will cut the internet, so after pressure from public, now they are not forcing.. So, Dont try to blame FB, they gave data on government request, otherwise they can not work.

you can get whatsapp for free for a whole month on ufone, don't know about other networks. And you can keep on renewing the subscription. It's all about money, we(Pakistani's) don't really care about id/data security. You can get list of Pakistani NICOP's just by googling. Government has 0 clue of cyber security or data privacy and it's not limited to this government. Iss se pehlay walay tou in se baray jahil aur dungar thay...

Ohh my God,
as an 'expert' on cryptocurrency

Here is a perfect example of the insidious nature of these applications. Under that glitz and glory and billion dollar brand building lies the following:

Facebook’s AI treats Palestinian activists like it treats American Black activists. It blocks them.

To be fair he is kind of an expert. Not sure if that is cryptocurrency or some-thing else. I heard in some podcast, he takes 1500Rs/month for a subscriber group to give some crypto advice. And he has about 50,000 subscribers. That's 7.5 million Rs per month and when you see this, then you ponder kia hum ch+++ hain jo itni mehnat mazdori kar k apna guzara kar rehahy hain???

Like, iss quom me bandaroon k hath me fazool ka paisa hai aur wo har truck ki bati k peechay bhagna shro ho jatay hain.. Bhai, iss quom me water car engineer, double shah, B4U, wakar zaka type laug he kamyaab hotay hain. Pata nahi kub laugoon ko aqal ayegi?

Gentleman ! Then Twitter, Gmail, Google Search Engine, TikTok, Likee, Yandex, all are dangerous,
Each country Russia,China, US and now European are spying their citizens, US is not only spying its citizens, its also outside of US with other countries including 5/9/14 Eyes. On Internet, privacy is almost impossible.
I will recommend, you can only get privacy in Amazon jungle.

That's why it's important to protect your data like you protect your assets
