Social Networking or Social Disunion: An Analysis of Cyber-Speech-Terrorism between Pakistanis and Americans

Abstract

Technological advancements have transformed the globe into a village with the advent of social media and these developments have brought so many advantages wrapped in dangers. Distance of thousand miles is just a click away i.e. web/internet; which is promoting togetherness by using networking and disunion in terms of cyber-hate, simultaneously. Pak-US shares a love-hate relationship with some unclear goals. Henry Kissinger's quote ‘America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests’ exactly defines American mindset whereas America is not less than a fantasy for Pakistanis. This paper is concerned with the critical analysis of cyber-hate-speech between Pakistan & US by considering major issues of current year. Sample data has been collected from WordPress, Twitter, Linked-in and face-book and analyzed on both quanto-qualitative measures. Observations have shown that knowingly & unknowingly social networking websites have turned into war zones with the exchange of hate feelings without the discrimination of age, gender, religion and social status.
