PM Khan stressed on the need for a robust mechanism to counter the misuse of social media in spreading ‘fake news’, violence and hate content. The Prime Minister stated this while talking to Simon Milner, Vice President of Public Policy, Facebook Singapore, who called on him at the PM Office.
The Prime Minister said that Facebook, with its large number of subscribers, could play a significant role towards checking negative attempts that threaten our society and social values. Simon Milner briefed PM Khan about various initiatives being taken by Facebook to create online communities, reaching out to remote communities, facilitating access to health services, garnering community responses towards disaster management and checking the misuse of social media. The PM appreciated Facebook’s existing global outreach and efforts for building online communities. He also acknowledged the role of Facebook and social media towards raising awareness among public on critical issues.
PM Imran Khan observed that there existed huge potential for the organisation for developing online communities within Pakistan in the field of social services, especially in promotion of community health services and raising health awareness campaigns in remote areas of the country.
