Speaking at an event hosted by the Canadian High Commission in collaboration with the University of Punjab, the Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting assessed the multiple obstacles allowing disinformation spaces to fester in Pakistan’s social media landscape. Firstly, he identified the lack of direct engagement with social media platforms- recommending that large social media companies open offices in Pakistan for better accountability measures. Secondly, taking a leaf out of Canada’s own history of dealing with online disinformation, speakers in the session recommended intensive media and information literacy training campaigns that empower citizens to participate in meaningful conversations through informed sources of online news.
