Registration of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter is mandatory in Pakistan
Islamabad: For social media companies including YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, it is mandatory to set up office within 3 months.
All companies, including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, are obliged to register and it is mandatory for companies to set up offices in the federal capital within 3 months. Media companies have also been conditioned to appoint a liaison officer in Pakistan.
The move could lead to action against the propagandists in regard to institutions and national security. The National Coordination Authority will be set up to regulate social media companies, shut down accounts on targeting of domestic companies, prohibited content and harassment complaints.
The authority will take action against non-removal of videos against social media companies and their services will be suspended if the companies do not cooperate.
