Pakistan's IT Minister claimed that recent internet disruptions in Pakistan are not being caused by any kind of firewall installation or ‘web management system’ upgradation. Another PMLN leader claimed the UK and US also have a firewall similar to the one being installed in Pakistan right now.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE. PMLN leader Barrister Danyal Chaudhry and IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khwaja have both made false statements regarding Pakistan’s internet landscape and the global internet firewall apparatus.

PA Media

Yvette Cooper wrote an opinion article headlined: “People who have Christmas trees in their living room may be far right. Please be vigilant as the festive season approaches.”

Publisher’s rating: The screenshot is fake. Although it matches the correct typeface and the same byline image of Ms Cooper as used by The Guardian, there is no evidence it was ever published online. The image was first distributed by a social media user who has previously posted a different fake editorial article.

FACTLYElections & voting

232 votes were cast in favour of Waqf Board in the Lok Sabha while there were only 24 Muslim MPs, implying 208 Hindu MPs voted in favour.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY reports that no vote took place on the Waqf Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha; instead, a motion to refer it to a Joint Parliamentary Committee was adopted. It says the bill was referred to the committee for consideration, so the claim about 232 votes in favour is unsupported by the parliamentary proceedings reviewed.
