Facebook Silencing the Voice of Kashmiris

Throughout the years, we have seen Facebook passing by twofold measures, focusing on Muslims while permitting others to utilize its interpersonal organization for against Islamic exercises and focusing on the Muslim people group. Be that as it may, this time, they may have gone too far.

Facebook has controlled many posts, announcements and brought down a few client accounts after the passing of Burhan Wani, a pioneer of the Kashmiri opportunity contender development. He was as of late executed by the Indian armed force on eighth July 2016. Before long, 30 more guiltless individuals were executed who were dissenting against his demise.

Activities of the Indian Authorities

The Indian powers stuck cellular telephone scope, landline telephones and web administrations in the entire Kashmir locale aside from Srinagar. The police attacked daily paper workplaces and seized a huge number of printed duplicates to keep the news from spreading. What's more, an uncertain time limit was actualized (as yet progressing) and all interchanges were obstructed for three entire days.

Is Facebook Supporting the Indian Agenda?

While something like this is normal from the Indian powers, who have an overbearing control over the Kashmir area, it was not expected that Facebook would bounce in and edit content with a political connection.

A few scholastics, columnists and fan pages of nearby daily papers had recordings, photographs, announcements expelled from their records that were identified with the present unsettling influences in the valley. Facebook even obstructed a portion of the records or erased them completely.

A few people, including a PhD understudy and a Kashmiri Professor of Cinema and Terrorism in California have affirmed that their records were brought down subsequent to sharing the photo of Burhan Wani's burial service.

There is an extensive rundown of individuals who have apparent evidence that their records or posts were brought down with no agreeable reason. Kashmir Monitor, a daily paper, shared a video of Syed Ali Shah Ghelani denouncing the demise of Wali, which was evacuated in spite of submitting no infringement of Facebook terms and conditions.

Facebook's Dual Standards

Individuals swing to online networking for data when every other wellspring of data are blocked. The way things are, Facebook calls itself an unbiased stage where anyone all through the world can join and share their perspectives, the length of they don't harm or hurt any other person.

However Facebook keeps on proliferating against Islam purposeful publicity, favoring the individuals who restrict Muslims and focusing on them by obstructing their online networking exercises in any kind of emergency circumstance.

Facebook even agreed with the general population who presented Draw Muhammad Day. Their Facebook pages were not brought down in spite of a huge number of grumblings from around the globe. Also, we saw a page gently against the Holocaust brought down.

There are actually many pages against Islam, Muslims, Allah and Muhammad (PBUH), yet we don't see them getting obstructed at any point in the near future. You may recall how Mark Zuckerberg particularly focused on Pakistan and Muslims after Paris assaults and said that he needs Facebook to be an open place regardless of the fact that it offends a couple people. Still, you can't say anything that damages Christians or Jews. We required the general population to wake up in those days too.

A year ago, we likewise saw that Facebook has uneven backing for worldwide tragedies. The organization claims it is a worldwide system with 1.59 billion clients from around the world. Facebook dispatched a banner channel and Safety Check for Paris, yet there was nothing for Beirut only one day before that.

Solidarity with Kashmir

Is Facebook not mindful that Kashmir is a debated area, asserted by two nations? On the off chance that India calls somebody a terrorist while the other nation calls him an opportunity warrior, can any anyone explain why the non-Muslim's perspective is thought about?

How could it be that Facebook can stamp something as terrorism when a whole country is battling for it? Who is the genuine terrorist, the person who has unlawfully taken control over individuals' lives and standards them by power, murdering every one of the individuals who stand firm, or the ones who are longing for their opportunity from an outside power?

In solidarity with our Kashmiri siblings, Pakistan is holding a Black Day today over the killings of more than 30 honest individuals in the previous few days and a few thousand since the takeover. We remain with Kashmir regardless of the possibility that worldwide fakers like Facebook side against them.

Our Media's Role

You may have seen that our media is shush on the matter. There's no story, no scope of such a critical matter. Whether its print media, online distributers or our TV slots, none have reported this nor have they made it their need. You don't see them standing out as truly newsworthy out of the cold-bloodedness that has come upon our siblings.

It is safe to say that this is our media or India's media? A few people have been severely killed and this news takes less need over some insignificant matter like an Indian motion picture melody? In the previous couple of years, as far back as private news channels have gone standard, how regularly do you find out about what happens in Kashmir? How regularly do they say the general population killed there without a reason?

This makes it clear that our private media isn't as impartial as we had thought. It was their obligation to report news about Kashmir simply like whatever remains of Pakistan however maybe there is some power which has requested that them not share anything about Kashmir unless it is important to the point that it can't be overlooked without raising suspicion.

It is the media's part to transfer all news identified with the entire country, which incorporates Kashmir.

We Have to Take a Stand

Facebook is not impartial and it is not worldwide. The fractional the right to speak freely which is accessible for some is the thing that Facebook remains for. On the off chance that we need it, we will need to put forth a defense and an exceptionally solid one to get Facebook to implement its controls for similarly for everybody.

Is it advocated to bring down records if there's even a notice of somebody who Facebook considers to be a terrorist? On the off chance that that is for sure the case, we don't see Facebook bringing down posts and pages when you share anything identified with Osama canister Laden or the main ten most needed individuals on the planet. How can it be that lone presents related on Kashmir were brought down?

It is time we stand firm against Facebook, the Indian strengths and any other individual who sides with the severity going ahead in Kashmir. We request that our perusers bolster Kashmir and be with them in their season of need.
