Pakistan lifts ban on You Tube
Pakistani authorities have lifted a ban on the You Tube through internet links.
The information and Technology Ministry lifted the ban on You Tube, which was banned six days ago after the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority began cracking down the sacrilegious content. Internet service providers have blocked about 800 URLs that link to “sacrilegious” content.
You Tube was banned in Pakistan in 2008 for carrying material deemed offensive to Muslims. In a message posted on Twitter today, Interior minister Rehman Malik said a meeting of federal cabinet had condemned “blasphemous material” on the websites.
He said that the cabinet had also accepted his proposal to block the objectionable “sections of Facebook and You Tube”.
