    Pakistan PM orders blocking of Youtube

    ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf has directed the IT Ministry to immediately block Youtube.

    "Blasphemous content will not be accepted at any cost," Prime Minister Ashraf said.

    Prime Minister Ashraf ordered the IT Ministry to block Youtube because video-sharing website failed to remove the anti-Islam film.

    Earlier the Supreme Court had ordered the PTA to block links to all blasphemous content including those on Youtube to the anti-Islam film.

    In response the PTA said it had directed Internet Service Providers (ISPs) throughout the country to block links of the anti-Islam film.

    According to a statement issued by the PTA, 750-800 links of the anti-Islam film had already been blocked after several complaints were received.

        You can easily bypass this 'blocking'. You can't suppress information, once it's out there, it's out there.

        A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

        For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


        The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

        -Ferishta, 1560–1620

          What i dont understand is why would they block utube? It is very easy to have them remove the video.. People just need to flag it a couple of times and it will automatically be removed.. Utube is not like PF where u flag things from one user and the user is still there.. ut actually did its job correctly.. And if 3 vids are flaged from one user utube blocks or disables the users account forever..
          I say people just need to calm down and start using their brain more often..

            or if you find it offensive.. you can ignore it...

            Does the Paki government also ban all the pornographic sites? I bet they don't..
