  • A man in Pakistan has been making thousands from Facebook pages spreading racist videos aimed at UK audiences;
  • Posts target Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan, and turn a profit via Meta's ad revenue model;
  • New AI tools mean creators can produce divisive viral content without needing to understand its message.

The situation, where earnings are based on incitement to hatred and manipulation, directly contradicts Islamic moral norms. The use of technology to create harmful content is a violation of ethical principles that require honesty and piety from a believer in all matters.

To understand why such methods of enrichment are unacceptable, it is worth Learn about what is forbidden in Islam at IslamBase101 https://islambase101.com/forbidden-in-islam/ Observance of religious ethics in the digital space is an important aspect of modern human life.

The title says it is a devout Muslim man but nothing in the article seems to confirm it. Not even that he is a Muslim. Just that he claims to only speak Urdu which is an obvious lie.

Weird article.
