Facebook rejects Pakistan request to link all accounts with phone numbers
2017-07-16
[DAWN] Social media giant Facebook has refused to comply with Pakistain's request to link all Facebook accounts with phone numbers, Voice of America (VOA) reported on Saturday.

Pakistain had made the request when Facebook Vice President Joel Kaplan met with Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan
...Currently the Interior Minister of Pakistain. He is the senior leader of the Pak Moslem League (N) and a close aide to Nawaz Uncle Fester Sharif. He is noted for his vocal anti-American railing in the National Assembly. However (comma) Khan told the U.S. ambassador that he was in fact pro-American but he and the PML-N would have to be critical of US actions in order to remain publicly credible. Khan cited his wife and children's US citizenship as proof, which means he's lying to one side or the other and probably both. He wears a wig, but you probably guessed that. since hair doesn't grow naturally in that shape or texture...
last week. The purpose of the request was to curb the usage of fake profiles to post blasphemous content and make it easy for authorities to trace users.

However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
in an e-mail to VOA, Facebook has confirmed that it has decided to not comply with the request to continue protecting its customers' rights. The policy for creating new accounts would remain unchanged, Facebook added. It also confirmed that the request had been made by Pak authorities to deal with the menace of fake profiles.
