Pakistan, Facebook and Blasphemy

[icehorse]

No it hasn't as Facebook must adhere to national laws in nations it wishes to operate such as business laws as Facebook is a business, and has been a for-profit one for 6 years. Facebook isn't something that just "exists" as some mysterious mist of the internet. It is a business; property, assets, contracts, employees, etc.

The internet isn't some commons. You must have a contact with an internet provider which must follow laws and regulation of the nation it operates in. You are legally responsible for what you say and do on the internet these days hence cyber-bullying is considered a crime in many nations. Websites you sign up for are member based services. The companies that run these sites are real and have an HQ along with it's own source or contracted internet services.

Facebook merely exposed itself for what it is, for-profit, to those that didn't clue in years ago.

I agree that it's a commons with some regulations, but it's still a sort of commons.

I have very close to home experiences with the degree to which cyber bullying is NOT a crime.

Of course I understand the corporate nature of facebook and their ilk, I'm a silicon-valley-adjacent geek.

No it is just unregulated as governments are very slow to adapt.

So?

Of course I understand the corporate nature of facebook and their ilk, I'm a silicon-valley-adjacent geek.

Being a corporate entity based on membership it is not required to hold up your specific national rights. Beside Pakistan does not have American rights so the argument is moot.

I think you're reading more into the OP than was intended. I'm making no claims about facebook's obligations or regulations. I'm making no claims about law.

I'm bemoaning an attempt to stifle speech.

This is a good explanation.

From the comments section –

“So, does Mark Zuccherberg understand he has sentenced these people to death? Blood is on his hands!”

“Absolutely correct I think most of us are more than sick of this ridiculously left leaning website.I am looking for a better social media site”

Pakistan will always remain as a bad example for everything .

It does not excuse the West for helping and assisting them with their barbarism.

Agreed! Really, really good (and terrifying) video.
