Rescue Presidents From Cyber Bullying
Rescue Presidents From Cyber Bullying: Pakistan and America are in coordination with each other to rescue their presidents from fraudsters and harassers on social media who are faking websites in their names and, in cases, tossing violent threats.
Internet Protocol Addresses Requested By Pakistan
The Pakistani government has been requesting information from the US relating to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses which were used for creating websites and Facebook pages on behalf of President Mamnoon Hussain.
President Mamnoon, it has been learnt, lodged a complaint in 2016 when some websites and Facebook pages were created. The FIA wrote to the Justice Department of the US for access to the IP address in order to locate the impersonators. Two years down the road, the information has not been shared.
According to an official corresponding with American authorities, the Justice Department has asked for plausible reason that could form the basis of sharing private information. For example, the FIA has been asked to prove that the impersonators injured the reputation or dented credibility of President Mamnoon through these websites.
American’s Stance on Accounts Made against President Mamnoon
It would be unfair to curb freedom of speech unless their personal safety is at risk, US State officials has stated.
US Requested Access To Twitter Accounts against President Trump
American authorities, on the other hand, have sought details of a twitter account used for threatening President Donald Trump.
It has been learnt that a twitter account operating from Pakistan hurled life threats to President Trump. An official privy to the correspondence said the twitter handle alleged in this regard was an anonymous and a probe is in progress in this regard.
Federal Investigation Authrotiy’s CyberCrime Wing
The Federal Investigation Authority’s Cybercrime Wing is in the search of culprits for Pakistan and US. The FIA keeps receiving complaints from politicians but has not been able to take any action because social media giants based in the United States don’t entertain such requests, according to officials.
The FIA’s Cybercrime Wing regularly receives complaints about harassment and cheating wherein social media is used. Most of them are related to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. As many as 1,795 information requests were forwarded from 2016 onward to these social media companies in furtherance to action initiated on the complaints.
Nature of complaints registered range from unauthorized access to accounts, fake accounts and hacking. However, the complaints regarding financial fraud, impersonation and harassment were mostly lodged by the Facebook users.
According to Cybercrime officials, Facebook cooperates the most in responding to the information requests except the ones relating to blasphemous content and freedom of speech.
