Pakistan says Facebook vows to tackle concerns over blasphemous content

Facebook had blocked 62 blasphemous webpages over the past few months.

KARACHI, Pakistan: Facebook has assured Pakistan that concerns about blasphemous content on the social media site will be addressed and a company delegation will visit this week to discuss the issue with the government, the interior minister said on Tuesday.

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif earlier this month ordered that blasphemous content on social media be removed or blocked and that anyone posting such material be punished, and the government requested a meeting with Facebook.
