Addressing a ceremony in Lahore, Federal Minister Attaullah stated that the best practices of the world have been adopted in the PECA Act. This is a good step to prevent the risks of social media and it aims to eliminate fake news.
He added that critics should talk about the clause of objection. Do they object to stopping fake news, tell about one clause they object to. There is no check on digital media and no editorial control.

If journalists think that their rights are being violated, then they can go to the High Court. Nominations will soon be made from the private sector to the Digital Media Protection Authority, and journalists associated with press clubs or journalistic organizations will be included in it.
