A Vice President of Facebook is going to visit Pakistan next month to discuss the matter of blasphemous content on social media and other related issues with Pakistani government, revealed Ch. Nisar, Minister of Interior today.
Ch. Nisar had previously hinted that Facebook team has confirmed the government about a visit to Pakistan for discussion on matters that are pending between the social media giant and government of Pakistan.
Today, in a more detailed talk, he confirmed that a Vice President level official from Facebook will be here in May 2017.
When asked by ProPakistani, a Facebook spokesperson said that they don’t comment on any upcoming meetings between Facebook with government officials.
While Nisar didn’t specify the name, we think that Vice President for Global Agency Relations or someone from legal and regulatory team would be coming to Pakistan.
It maybe recalled that Pakistan had issues with blasphemous content on Facebook.
PTA Chairman, in one of the recent standing committee meetings, had briefed the Senators that Facebook had been cooperating in removing the objectionable content from its website, however, the response has not been to the satisfaction of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority.
It maybe recalled that Facebook hired Badar Khushnood as a product growth manager for Pakistan just past week, indicating that Facebook has started to pick up its relation with Pakistani market (and probably with government as well).
It merits mentioning here along side issue of blasphemous content, Facebook would also be asked to be more open in sharing users’ information [of convicts or even the charged individuals] with the government.

Its not new, been there for a long time. Can’t say why.
Recently when I tried to sign in to my PayPal in Pakistan it didn’t accept my password, but after I returned back home it warned me of suspicious activity from suspecious location and advised to change password.
Looks like Paypal doesn’t consider Pakistan as acceptable location to even sign in.
Han main nai be abhe check Kia hai lagta hai PayPal Pakistan Me ane ke tyari Kar Raha hai.
you can create paypal for pakistani business but not personal account.

NO through Amazon. Ali express have cheap class non famous products
What you want to import from US?
bcuz myreltives want to senda tablet to me?how to get low customs
Well, I advise you not to use USPS or even DHL. It’s better to get it directly when your relatives come to Pakistan. In DHL/Fedex case, You will end up paying lots of custom fee, sometime 20-30% of product price. While in USPS case (delivered through Pakistan post), your device can be lost or can even be illegally seized (read stolen) by customs. Would you believe I imported few products from Amazon in Pakistan through Pakistan post and custom guys (or Pakistan post) stole 2 products from my package. While importing through DHL, I end up paying 30% of product price as duty.
The custom guys here are one of the worst stealers so I don’t recommend importing expensive stuff unless you have a strong reference (read sifarish) in courier company or customs.
THANKS 4 ADVICE I WISH THIER WASASIMPLE AND SUPER CHEAPWAY :(
Hopefully he won’t be lynched.
