The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has warned social media users against sharing anti-state content and engaging in online harassment. The agency says its cyber patrolling unit is actively monitoring social media platforms.
Additional Director NCCIA Atif Ameer issued the warning during a recent press briefing. He stressed that users should not assume their online activities go unnoticed.
“You are not clicking alone,” Ameer said while explaining the agency’s monitoring activities.
He said the NCCIA is focusing on three major areas under the direction of its Director General. These include call centre operations, anti-state content, and online harassment.
According to the official, the agency is paying close attention to posts and messages considered anti-state. He warned that such content would not be tolerated and could lead to legal action.
The NCCIA’s cyber patrolling unit is monitoring activity across different social media applications. The unit aims to identify users who share material that falls within the agency’s enforcement priorities.
The warning highlights the growing focus on online activity and digital communication. Social media users are being urged to exercise caution when publishing posts, sharing messages, or commenting on public matters.
The agency has also raised concerns about online harassment and the targeting of women. Ameer warned users against using Facebook and other platforms to harass individuals or publish defamatory material.
He stressed that digital platforms should not become tools for violating another person’s dignity. Users who target others through online content could face action under applicable laws.
The official reiterated that the three areas remain central to the agency’s current priorities. These include monitoring call centre operations, addressing anti-state content, and taking action against online harassment.
The NCCIA’s warning serves as a reminder that online conduct can have legal consequences. Social media users should avoid harassment, threats, and defamatory allegations against other individuals.
Users should also understand the legal implications of the content they publish or share. Responsible online behaviour can help prevent disputes and protect the rights and dignity of others.
