During a podcast conversation with Joe Rogan, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recounted a near-death sentence he faced in Pakistan due to legal claims asserting that Facebook had hosted blasphemous material, specifically a depiction of Prophet Mohammed, as reported by News18.
He said, “There are laws in different countries that we disagree with. For example, there was a point at which someone was trying to get me sentenced to death in Pakistan because someone on Facebook had a picture where they had a drawing of Prophet Mohammed, and someone said, ‘That’s blasphemy in our culture.’
They sued me and opened this criminal proceeding. I don’t know exactly where it went because I’m just not planning to go to Pakistan, so I was not that worried about it,” he continued.
