Is online defamation a crime in Pakistan?

Yes. Section 20 of PECA criminalises online defamation. Parallel civil remedies for damages and injunctions are also available.

Can content be removed from social media through the FIA?

The FIA and PTA can coordinate with platforms for lawful takedown. In our experience, evidence quality and speed of filing materially affect outcomes.

How quickly should I act after a cyber incident?

Immediately. Digital evidence is volatile — preserve URLs, screenshots and device logs before anything else, then file the complaint.
