Pakistani social media circles continue to bear witness to an influx of fake accounts. Among a recent trend is a rise of Twitter handles posing as foreigners, often upholding claims that bear uncanny resemblance to the state’s narrative.
Recently a foreign female blogger tweeted: “No one in the world respects women as much as Pakistani men.” And not so surprisingly, all hell broke loose. Many started to share this as ‘proof’ that women are safe in the country, unlike the claims of ‘leftist and liberal’ media and activists. Meanwhile, the leftist media and personalities started bashing Katherine George over the tweet.
