[bestbits] Facebook's secret censorship deal with the Pakistan government

[Shahzad Ahmad]

Folks,

While we are still compiling some more information to be shared with GNI and
Facebook, Simon Davies (Privacy Surgeon) shared this piece with us.

He writes "It¹s time for companies to become champions of rights instead of
government stooges".

-champions-of-rights-instead-of-government-stooges/

Thought it will be of interest to you.

Best wishes and regards
Shahzad
