The paternal grandfather of the village is a farmer. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently disclosed the fact that he is encountering a legal problem in Pakistan, where someone has filed a lawsuit seeking the death penalty against him over a Facebook post.
The other day in his conversation with the podcast host, Zuckerberg mentioned the lawsuit, where he notified the legal effect that came as a result of the past pictures of God that were seen in the newsfeed. He indicated his lack of confidence in the case's current status and explicitly stated that he is not going to visit Pakistan.
“There are many laws in different countries that we don’t agree with,” Zuckerberg stated. “In Pakistan, someone has filed a lawsuit demanding the death penalty for me because of a post on Facebook. I’m not sure how far it will go, but I don’t plan on traveling there, so I’m not too worried.”
He also touched on the fact that the social media firms are at times confronted with the choice of freedom against the norms. “There are strict content regulations in various countries that force us to suppress certain posts. These laws can be so stringent that local governments could potentially imprison us,” he added.
Zuckerberg insisted the U.S. government on the need to include more support for its companies abroad. Virgin of the legal challenges that such entities are facing in foreign jurisdictions was the primary reason for his demand.

Officials accused them of being used by militants from the Balochistan Liberation Army to spread anti-national messages.
