Registration
of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter is mandatory in Pakistan

Islamabad:
For social media companies including YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, it is
mandatory to set up office within 3 months.

All
companies, including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, are obliged to register and it
is mandatory for companies to set up offices in the federal capital within 3
months. Media companies have also been conditioned to appoint a liaison officer
in Pakistan.

The move
could lead to action against the propagandists in regard to institutions and
national security. The National Coordination Authority will be set up to
regulate social media companies, shut down accounts on targeting of domestic
companies, prohibited content and harassment complaints.

The
authority will take action against non-removal of videos against social media
companies and their services will be suspended if the companies do not
cooperate.
