Most of the Twitter accounts involved in these 150 anti-state trends did not have many followers and appeared to be made only for sending tweets against these trends.
For instance, following the crackdown of Police against Tehreek-i-Labaik Pakistan (TLP) in Karachi, the trend ‘#CivilWarinKarachi’ was launched from India and hundreds of thousands of tweets were sent against it in only a few hours.
The Anti-State Trends report has highlighted that Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) and its activists played a leading role in helping India and Afghanistan to make these trends successful.
For example, the trend ‘#BalochistanSolidarityDay’ was launched from India on 14 August last year. PTM and its activists actively supported this trend against which more than 150,000 Tweets were sent.
Besides, some of the trends that were aimed to defame Pakistan and its institutions during the last two years were ‘#PTMExposedFakeTerrorism’, ‘#DaSangaAzadiDa’ ‘#StateKilledKarimaBaloch’ ‘#TyrantPakistanArmy’, ‘#ArmyBehindTargetKillings’, and ‘#PakistanArmyKillPashtuns.’
