Pakistan Gets Ready to Issue Death Warrant Against Zuckersberg And With Others Involved With The Page

Facebook has really upset the Muslim world with its “Draw Muhammad” page and this brought trouble for Mark Zuckersberg, the CEO and co-founder of Facebook.

A criminal proceeding against Mark Zuckersberg is in place and he is being investigated against for the highly controversial “Everybody Draw Muhammad” page. This proceeding is taking place in Pakistan which also happens to be one of the larger Muslim nations and has better connections with the west. Also involved in this proceeding are Facebook co-founders Chris Hughes and Dustin Moskovitz and Andy, a German who started the page.

A Facebook spokesperson has refused to comment on this calling the matter legal. These charges are being pressed against the 295-C of the Pakistan penal court which says,

Use of derogatory remark etc, in respect of the Holy Prophet, whoever by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representation, or by any imputation, innuendo, or insinuation, directly or indirectly, defiles the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) shall be punished with death, or imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable for fine.

Okay so most of the guy must be asking themselves right now that is this thing right or not well I say it is right 85%.According to Facebook policies they are against the people creating pages against racism and etc.And even Mark says that he had no sort of involvement in this project well what about the guy who made the page “Hitler IS My Friend” his page got quite quickly banned . But then again this is Mark Zuckersberg we are talking about who has a habit of getting into trouble but I might say this one is a little one big then others.

Fifa Is The Hottest Thing On THe Internet Right Now

As it turns out, the FIFA world cup 2010 has become the most popular web event in the history of the Internet. This event has turned the table in its favor and claimed this title beating president Obama’s Election Day victory. The official FIFA world cup website is now serving as many pageviews as Facebook . And when I say that these both share the same page views now that is saying something.

Though, that is just one source of the FIFA buzz. It is all over Twitter, Facebook and other social networks as well. This makes FIFA world cup the hottest and the most happening thing on the Internet. Univision, which is managing live streaming of the matches claims that at least a quarter million people are watching matches online in U.S. and Puerto Rico. This includes desktop and mobile viewers.

Twitter users who are football fans at the same time, bring down a river of tweets updating regularly on the match proceedings. Twitter is having a hard time managing rates of 3000 tweets per second and has surrendered announcing that users should be ready for occasional downtimes.

Amazing isn’t it what are your thoughts on it ?
