Government Likely to Open Access to YouTube in Pakistan

Saturday, October 27, 2012
For those of you who are sick of YouTube ban, would appreciate govt concerns over lifting ban from YouTube in Pakistan.

As reported earlier The Blockage of The Entire YouTube Website on protests and pressure from Muslim community in Pakistan due to the anti-Islam film, on orders of PM Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, the Federal Minister for Information Technology ordered PTA (Pakistan Telecommunication Authority). 

We have been hearing news from different sources which were not giving any hopes of opening YouTube in near future. But I have just heard from reliable resources in ISP's that government is now likely to open YouTube and ban will be removed but only with the blockage of blasphemous material.


It merits mentioning here that YouTube is a source of education and also provides material related to teachings of Islam. As per a user of this blog "Banning Youtube was not a good idea" who commented on my blog on an article Monitoring of Pakistani E-mails, Phone Telephone calls as follows:



They should have banned the CONTENT only. Why am I not supporting the ban on Youtube is because I think it's the only website in the world with unfathomable data on ISLAM. I used to watch some great Islamic videos on it but now I can't. I used to answer to so many of those Atheists and anti-religion people on YouTube when they uploaded something against Islam. But now I can't. Good going PTA and the bloody government.

We have also seen a message about removing access from YouTube from The Interior Minister, Rehman Malik who has posted a tweet on his twitter account mentioning that he will talk to the government regarding the importance of YouTube which no doubt is wealth of knowledge, keeping in mind that it hurted the feelings of all Muslims. He promised to raise the issue in cabinet to open access on YouTube with the removal of Anti-Islam material.

  5. Good idea but who will take initiative. Obviously some large ISP's can easily start doing this so that we don't have to depend on YouTube.
