The prime minister repeated Pakistan’s “zero tolerance” position against terrorism and emphasized the country’s victims in the pursuit of global peace.
Chaudhry urged the international community and WhatsApp to collaborate with Pakistan to counter extremist content by identifying and blocking such channels. “These accounts need to be blocked and necessary algorithms created for auto detection and auto-Suuspend such handles and numbers,” he added.
TTP has long used the Internet and online media platforms to spread its messages and get public support. In 2012, Facebook closed an account called ‘Umar Media TTP page’ that the group had used for recruiting and propaganda, including the release of a quarterly magazine and video editing.
Following the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and Taliban’s takeover, Facebook also banned WhatsApp accounts linked to the Taliban. A Facebook spokesman said at the time, “Taliban is sanctioned as a terrorist organization under US law, and we have banned them from our services under our dangerous organizational policies.”
