That's pretty progressive of them, to put hate speech first and front of their priorities. Many of us in the West would love if we did the same. Go Pakistan!

Of course, who defines hate speech? Even here in the US we're already starting to see attempts by local government to define anti-cop sentiment as "hate speech"; an obvious perversion of the original intent, but a sadly predictable result of leaving such a wide ranging power within easy reach of partisans politics.
Hardly progressive - Everything progressive is simply deemed to be vulgar hate speech and then blocked. Don't forget that it's a very conservative country that, in my opinion, would be a Republican utopia if the official religion was christianity instead of Islam.
