The breach has raised new concerns about the safety and protection of personal data in the digital age.
The surrounding controversy follows similar incidents involving TikTok influencers Imsha Rehman and Minahil Malik, and Mathira, who took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to address the situation and accused her detractors of fabricating and disseminating false material in her name.
Earlier, Imsha Rehman deactivated her social media accounts after her alleged videos went viral, sparking public outrage over the unchecked circulation of such material.
Minahil Malik, another famous TikToker, also faced public scrutiny when a video allegedly depicting her in a compromising situation went viral online.
Denying the authenticity of the video, Malik called it a fabricated attempt to defame her. She has since filed a formal complaint with Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
As public figures in Pakistan grapple with the challenges of digital visibility, the latest incidents highlight the need for broader social change.
The debates surrounding these cases highlight questions about ethical boundaries, the role of social media platforms, and the consequences of unchecked privacy violations in the digital era .
