Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that he was “almost sentenced to death for blasphemy in Pakistan.” Zuckerberg expressed concerns over the legal challenges Meta faces in Pakistan, citing a lawsuit related to 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 considered offensive to religious beliefs. Zuckerberg also discussed the growing challenges tech companies face due to stricter content regulations. He said “The point is, there are places around the world that just have different values that go against our free expression values and want us to crack down and ban way more stuff than I think a lot of people would believe would be the right thing to do,” he said. “I think this is one of the things that the US government is probably going to need to help defend the American tech companies for abroad,’ he added. ‘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.
