Misinformation alleging that Fiverr has blocked Pakistani freelancers from using its site has been circulating on social media channels recently.

However, a careful examination has shown that these allegations are unfounded and seem to be an intentional attempt to sow discord among Pakistan’s independent contractor community, depending on out-of-date material.

Comprehensive exploration across many social media channels verified that the information making the rounds is not original and instead originates from an earlier occurrence that was covered on May 11, 2023. The current story circulating around this matter appears to be false, as no fresh announcements or updates have been made on Fiverr’s official community groups.

August 13 saw the return of the false information, which was allegedly spread by accounts associated with a political party in an effort to stir up dissatisfaction among independent contractors in Pakistan. It was established that Pakistani profiles are still live after Fiverr’s platform was examined in spite of these assurances. The profiles of Pakistani freelancers are operational, and the platform is still operating normally.

Furthermore, it is mentioned that problems with internet connectivity are widespread throughout South Asia and the global South. Fiverr periodically notifies freelancers in this area of connectivity problems, although these are minor difficulties that don’t necessarily indicate a larger issue with the platform’s uptime or functionality.

An independent video presentation was offered to allay worries by proving that the profiles of Pakistani freelancers are real and verifiable. Users can be reassured by this evidence that Fiverr will always stand by its international community, which includes Pakistani freelancers, and refute any false claims made.

Fact-checking and alertness are crucial in the internet age, as evidenced by the dissemination of this false and out-of-date information. In order to obtain reliable information, users are advised to trust official sources and to exercise caution when coming across false information intended to cause unneeded disturbance.

Regarding Senator Faisal Vawda’s claims that Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) personnel had threatened his life, the Inland Revenue Service personnel Association has replied.

The group denies the allegations, claiming that none of its officers threatened anyone, and denounced the attempt to discredit them.

The statement emphasized that government car purchases were governed by regulations and urged Vawda to back up his claims with proof. It also raised fears that irrational remarks were hurting officers’ morale and would interfere with the tax collecting process.
The committee made the decision to forward the threatening officers’ case to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for additional examination. Along with calling for a high-level investigation, the FBR Chairman pledged to prosecute individuals culpable for the threats.

The members of the Finance Committee urged that the case be sent to a criminal body such as the FIA. The committee has previously voiced its disapproval of the FBR’s acquisition of more than 1,000 automobiles at a cost of billions of rupees.
