Improper Use of Social Media

Improper Use of Social Media

Unfortunately, even in the present developed age, we often make negative and illegitimate use of the means of development and then weep for non-development. It is worth considering that when our thoughts are negative, we will do negative actions and the result of negative actions will also be negative. Spreading false propaganda, false news and obscenity through social media is not only a cause of country and nation and social and moral destruction, but the biggest thing is that in the religion of Islam, any such attempt is strictly prohibited and declared as a major sin. has gone It should be remembered that life is very short but only a few days. We all have to appear in front of Allah, the Most High, where every bit of good and bad deeds will be accounted for. This time should be feared. Today, if instead of taking legitimate advantage of social media, we use it illegitimately and wrongly, then instead of a little worldly benefit or fulfillment of evil desires, we are guilty of what a great sin. Some are also unfortunate who commit such sins daily and feel proud of them. Some increase their sins daily to please their master and rejoice as if they are accomplishing a great feat.

Army Chief General Syed Hafiz Asim Munir has also drawn attention to spreading chaos in the country through social media. Addressing the Youth Convention in Islamabad, he said that some elements are trying to spread chaos through false news and propaganda in the media. He also referred to the blessed verse of the Holy Quran in this regard. The meaning of which is that without research and without understanding the truth, do not believe the news or talk of any wicked person. Young people should not make their decisions based on fake news on mobile only. The Army Chief has given a great and excellent advice to avoid believing the false news and negative propaganda on social media that harms the country and nations. Currently, fake and false news are being spread through hundreds of fake social media accounts from inside and outside the country. Unholy efforts are being made to create a gap between the state and the people. A nefarious propaganda campaign is being carried out to make people hate and create uncertainty about the Supreme Judiciary. Many of these accounts are fake accounts operating from India and some western countries. 

Fake accounts with fake names are also active in the country. Out of which several accounts have been identified and action has been initiated against them. The Army Chief is right to say that some elements are using social media illegally and making it a satanic media. Investigations have revealed that false and dirty propaganda is being spread not only internally but also from foreign countries through social media by a certain group with the aim of spreading chaos and disillusionment within Pakistan. There are reports of such accounts being run in favor of this particular party and against the state from the Indian state of Maharashtra. There are also reports of anti-state campaigning by this particular party through social media during and after the election. The aim of this campaign is to sabotage the election results and to accuse the Election Commission of Pakistan, the judiciary and the Pakistan Army of bias.

There are also reports that this party will either boycott the election on time or try to mislead the people by alleging manipulation and rigging of the results. Based on all these reports, it cannot be said whether these people can really succeed in their efforts or not, but the government and state institutions should take steps and be ready to thwart such efforts. No one can be the government, but no one can be allowed to create chaos, uncertainty and despair in the country. Freedom of expression does not mean parental freedom at all and such freedom does not exist in any country in the world, nor are any activities that may harm the country allowed. Strict action against negative use of social media, spread of fake news and seditious propagandists is very necessary. It is hoped that the concerned institutions will not turn a blind eye to this in any way, nor will such impure efforts be allowed to succeed.
