Twitter Suspends Pakistan Defence Forum Without any Warning - Again

[Clutch]

Last year in November, Twitter suspended our verified twitter handle without any warning or moderation. Our repeated appeals were not entertained.

Today, twitter has suspended us again without any warning or moderation. The message we received was: Violating our rules against evading permanent suspension. The permanent suspension was never explained, to begin with.

We believe that this is the work of twitter India at the behest of the Modi Govt which has been handing out lists of Pakistani twitter accounts for suspension and forcing twitter to comply. We believe that our original suspension and this one is pure and utterly motivated by politics because Pakistani twitter users are under the oversight of twitter India and they can shut down our accounts whenever they want without us getting a fair chance of appeal or reversal.

Many other Pakistani twitter users who criticize India have ended up on Indian Govt's lists which were given to twitter. They were given legal notices that 'your tweets are in violation of Indian Law' - whatever that means.

We believe in the fairness of debate and not at any point, we've intentionally violated twitter's stated rules and if it ever happened by mistake, it was corrected and self-moderated.

We strongly protest this decision and hope our forum members will raise this issue on twitter with @ jack and others who are at the helm of affairs by using the hashtag #RestoreDefencedotpk.

We also hope that the Govt of Pakistan will look into this issue and officially raises this with twitter. The twitter must be asked to prohibit twitter India from exercising all powers over Pakistani twitter users and a twitter office must be established in India OR the Pakistani users should be under the oversight by twitter's head office in the United States. Their Indian staff is abusing their powers to shut down Pakistani accounts to settle scores and to comply with the Modi govt.

If you have any ideas on how to go about this, please let us know.

Thanks

Ban Indians from PDF ... If the Indians are trying to silence our voices we should return the favor?

While you state within state can hire boogey accounts to carryout your agenda…
Old members.... who is old? may be you had another handle during Zardari rule! just like all your tribal brothers.. ???
You and all those i banned are free to abuse… is there a secret pact with administration?

This happens when you glorify terrorists...call them freedom fighters
I am sure you would have done the same if someone praised APS attackers

Why not quit twitter, facebook and youtube and switch to the Chinese alternative? Weibo, Wechat, RenRen, QQ. There is a Chinese alternative for all social media platform.

 

[Yaseen1]

it is done due to indian influence

OP is correct. Twitter was given a list of mainly Pakistani/Kashmiri accounts to ban. The one below is request made in June of this year. One of the account government of India, minister of electornic and informant ion technology requested to take down is the twitter handle of the popular @BhittaniKhannnn His account on the very last of the list. In my view same request was made for Defence.pk but I will need to keep digging to find the exact request

some one plz ask government to raise this issue with Twitter's management.

 

[Path-Finder]

This is happening due to lack of gov of Pakistan's interest in social platforms.

The most powerful global forces today are USA, Europe and China. This is the reality. And Pakistan is a fragile country with a weak economy which could be easily snuffed as we have seen with recent desperate financial situation. In this hostile environment Pakistani's have to navigate very, very cautiously. This means following the path of least resistence. Which means as much as you can fly with the headwind and only go against it when it becomes absolutely vital to core Pakistani interests.

We must keep in mind big business in USA and that includes the media is dominated by Jews. Many of the large US corporations are owned by Jews. So if you spit in their face over Israel in some suicidal effort to clam up with Palestinians, croak on about Uighur Muslims, bitch about Europeans the net result is your going to find yourself right at the bottom and isolated. This is exactly what Pakistan has done as a nation. We just made up enemies when there was never any need for it.

The Indian's have done opposite of this. They have cultivated relations with evderybody. This means in any India/Pak tiff we always get the shafting as evreybody bends backwards to accomodate India.Pakistan has made itself a public relations manager's nightmare.

Ps. I have even on PDF seen members provoking the Chinese over Uighurs. It's like do we want to fcuk up one of the few countries that are pro Pakistan over the Uighurs. And the Chinese are very reactive to this Uighur issue. Or start giving Turks lessons on Islam when we know majority of them are very secular. That again annoys them.

Pull down your pants and bow down. I'm sure your children definitely respect you for it. You are a disgusting person with a slave mentality. Personally, I don't consider you a Pakistani. Some people maintain their respect and honor amongst adversity, while others like yourself go to look for scraps like the dog you are.

And that is why i like Musharaf.
You(the forum) put religion before your country,a known fact,this never works and especially not in poor countries.
The only way forward for your country is your national identity,if you dont do that,you'll end up like the many failed states.
You fight for Muslims but when did or do Muslims fight for you?
Just ask people of these many Muslim countries you defend what they think of you when you tell them where you come from.
''I am a Muslim from Pakistan''.
Who cares for you if your identity is one of the 1,6 billion?
If i answer,''im a Turk'' they know exactly who i am.
See the difference?
Make religion personal and national identity a priority if you want to survive as a nation.
Nobody can fvck with you if you do that,no twitter,facebook,India or any others
In short,you know what to do,its all up to you Pakistanis.

Your opinion has been noted and considered worthless because you are stupid. I wonder who will ask you about being a Turk when you are six feet under the dirt.

This is happening due to lack of gov of Pakistan's interest in social platforms.

You have to force the government to do so, just tell them that if they don't take action than you are going to forward link of Anti-Islam and Blasphemous tweets to Admiral General Khadim Rizvi and his army which will force govt. to do complete ban of twitter for at-least decade.

 

[lastofthepatriots]
