In another news, Mark Zuckerberg recently stated that he was “almost sentenced to death for blasphemy in Pakistan." Speaking on the Joe Rogan podcast, Zuckerberg discussed the legal challenges Meta has faced in Pakistan due to a lawsuit over alleged blasphemous content on Facebook.
According to reports, the lawsuit accuses Facebook of hosting content that violates Pakistan's strict blasphemy laws, which impose severe penalties for acts deemed offensive to religious beliefs. Zuckerberg addressed the issue, highlighting Meta’s efforts to balance free expression while respecting local laws and cultural sensitivities.
“There are laws in different countries that we disagree with. For example, there was a point at which someone was trying to get me sentenced to death in Pakistan because someone on Facebook had a picture where they had a drawing of Prophet Mohammed, and someone said, ‘That's blasphemy in our culture.’ They sued me and opened this criminal proceeding,” he said.
“I don't know exactly where it went because I'm just not planning to go to Pakistan, so I was not that worried about it,” Zuckerberg added.
