Our Facebook and WhatsApp messages, and the connection to some of the popular websites is encrypted, right?
How will they be able to intervene, then?

As far as my understanding goes, even NSA had to go to Google and Facebook in order to access user's data. I really doubt PTA - who's currently unable to restrict access to a video without blocking the whole domain - will be able to monitor our online activities.

P.S. I understand this won't be the case with posting pictures and content on Facebook; but I think private messages would be secure.

And someone above said e-commerce sites like HSN and daraz would be penalised cause of their newsletters.
Even Namaz Sharif can't be stupid enough to deem newsletters as spam.


'Sending an email or message without the recipient's permission will also be an offence. '
^That is just plain stupid. Either you've misread the clause or you've misinterpreted it.

No one actually expects the government to be able to enforce this law on a massive scale, Most of your online trolling will go unpunished, this law is more of a tool for the government to quash criticism and opposition from their rivals and critics. Even so, this bill is beyond disgusting and I can't believe it's moving through the process to be passed into law with as little resistance as it seems to be.

How about focusing on curbing terrorism and eliminating sectarian killings instead of making these stupid bills? IMO they're planning to turn this nation into George Orwell's 1984. Anyone who defies the Party is going to be punished by the Big Brother. I reckon soon thoughtcrime is going to be penalized too, and masses will be educated through systematic and brutal torture. If the law does pass then remember that online freedom is going to be slavery, and ignorance be the strength.

Has anyone actually read the bill? Or are we just going after what a couple of newspapers have reported.

I'm not a PML(N) supporter, but I have good reasons to doubt dawn and tribune.

[MENTION=11152]Kane[/MENTION] I'm sorry if I'm being rude, but could you please stop?
Not only is this joke immature, but it's also generating non stop notifications at my end.
Thanks! :)

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
