Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently shared a shocking revelation during an interview with Joe Rogan, stating that he once faced the risk of a death sentence in Pakistan due to content posted on Facebook. The controversy arose when a user-posted image depicting Prophet Mohammed violated Pakistan’s strict blasphemy laws, leading the government to seek legal action against Zuckerberg himself.

 

While Zuckerberg acknowledged that he had no intention of visiting Pakistan, he emphasized the broader challenges global tech platforms face when navigating free speech versus local regulations. He explained that different countries have varying values, and some governments push for far stricter content moderation than what Meta considers appropriate.

 

He also pointed out how foreign government pressures create difficulties for American tech companies, calling for stronger US government support. According to Zuckerberg, threats like imprisonment or severe legal consequences require better protection for tech platforms operating globally.

 

This incident is not unique to Meta. The company has faced numerous legal challenges worldwide, with different governments attempting to regulate or censor content that clashes with local cultural norms and laws.
