I just read it before few moments that youtube has been blocked by Pakistan authorities. The PTA has ordered all ISP’s to block YouTube because of “objectionable contentâ€!! Here is an e-mail that a MicroNet customer got from the ISP: Dear Valued Customer: Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (www.pta.gov.pk) has directed all ISPs of the country to block access to www.youtube.com web site for containing blasphemous web content/movies. The site would remain blocked till further orders from PTA. Meanwhile, Internet users can write to youtube.com to remove the objectionable web content/movies because this removal would enable the authorities to order un-blocking of this website. We’re sorry for any inconvenience. Best Regards Manager Technical Assistance Center Micronet Broadband Pvt. Ltd.
