Twitter sent notice to Pakistan’s President & blocked many Pakistani accounts for spreading fake news about Kashmir
After removal of Artcile 370 from Jammu & kasmir, Efforts are being made by the Government of Pakistan to spoil the atmosphere of the valley through social media. Pakistan President Arif Alvi was also found sharing false news about Kashmir. In this regard, Twitter has issued a notice to President Arif Alvi and sought a response.
Protests have started in Pakistan with notice given to President Arif Alvi. Pakistan’s Human Rights Minister Shirin Mazri has alleged that Twitter also appears to have become the mouthpiece of India’s Modi government. Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari also posted the screen shot of a mail received by President Alvi from Twitter authorities and said the notice was “in bad taste and simply ridiculous.”
