Blasphemous content: Social media platforms non-cooperative, IHC told
ISLAMABAD: Director General Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) on Tuesday informed the Islamabad High Court (IHC) that it had written to Interior Ministry to raise the matter at international forums to permanently stop the practice of uploading blasphemous content on social media.
The DG PTA adopted the stance that social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter were not cooperating with the department in this regard. The DG said the practice of uploading of blasphemous contents couldn’t be stopped until the offices of these platforms were opened in Pakistan.
The DG said that PTA had framed social media rules but these were challenged before IHC and the prime minister had formed a committee to review it. To this, Justice Farooq remarked that the rules were challenged but not suspended.
