PTI and Social Media Trolling - Farhan Virk - The Anatomy of a Troll - TPE #052
Farhan Virk, the most well known social media troll in Pakistan, is a self-labelled online activist. Virk gained notoriety after making Dr. Abdul Qadeer's fake Twitter account. For the past 5 years Farhan Virk is running social media groups in favour of Imran Khan and PTI working closely with party leaders. After being suspended by Twitter for his activities, Farhan has now been forsaken by PTI and the official PTI Twitter has disowned him. Farhan Virk comes on The Pakistan Experience to discuss social media trolling, political trending and the performance of PTI in the past two years. Farhan reflects on what he has done and why he thinks middle-class individuals will never succeed in the current political climate. The Pakistan Experience is a podcast looking to tell stories about Pakistan, and Pakistanis, through the lost art of conversation.
