As a court reporter, I know the scope and limitations of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), and I am aware of my responsibilities as a journalist and as a citizen. I only post content that I can legally defend in a court of law,” says Waheed Murad, a Pakistani journalist working for Urdu News, an online news outlet owned by the Saudi Research and Media Group (SRMG).
