ISLAMABAD:
The Senate Standing Committee on Information Technology and Telecommunication on Tuesday expressed concern over fake social media accounts being run in the name of political and social personalities.
The meeting was chaired by Senator Rubina Khalid.
In an earlier meeting held last month, the committee had asked the government to enter into an agreement with Twitter’s management to share information and block fake accounts.
The committee members had asked the authorities concerned to identify accounts that were allegedly involved in defamation and harassment of individuals as well as organisations.
