Pakistani PM calls for Facebook ban on Islamophobic content

Kathmandu, 26 October: Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan has appealed to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to ban Islamophobic content on the site, warning of an increase in radicalisation amongst Muslims.

In a letter, which the Pakistani government posted on Twitter, Khan said that “growing Islamophobia” was encouraging extremism and violence across the world, especially through social media platforms such as Facebook.

“I would ask you to place a similar ban on Islamophobia and hate against Islam for Facebook that you have put in place for the Holocaust,” Khan said.
