Internet Censorship In Pakistan

The Increase In Internet Censorship In Pakistan :

There was growing evidence of the active role that many governments and states around the world are taking Internet censorship. In recent days, the Pakistani government faces a dilemma that affects many countries. This question refers to a Facebook page that users began encouraged to draw pictures and cartoons on a page called -. "Everybody draw Muhammad Day" The answer to that page in Pakistan and other Islamic countries have been extremely fast. The Lahore High Court ordered the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to ensure that the website Facebook has been blocked and inaccessible in Pakistan.

Prohibition then seemed to accelerate under the pressure of Islamic law, the Council of Ministers of Pakistan finally extend its ban to other sites containing "blasphemous". The ban was soon extended to include hundreds of pages that are supposed to host Youtube material offensive. There seems to be some division in the government of Pakistan on how to deal with material that is considered offensive. Hard looking to expand through the director of Internet filtering, where the Interior Minister Rehman Malik has urged caution as in blocking access to websites, unlike all the individual pages.
Jim Rjindael the popular blog - Anonymous Surfing the Internet has made this comment:"The problem is that there is an effective way to censor the internet stream is provided to a country which is to allow Web sites individually, rather than block. Lock pages and web sites is completely ineffective because of many ways available to avoid these blocks. The current techniques of Internet filtering are inefficient and often degrade access the global Internet network.


"The other problem is that the content is distributed as widely as when such a ban is implemented, soon available from thousands of sites. Internet feeds of new and banned content is almost certain to ensure that the more People see it as offensive content go viral on the Internet. "

Many people in Pakistan and other countries, however, were entirely covered by the restrictions because of the increasing use of software, and anonymization VPN technology used to circumvent such restrictions. Many British expatriates, for example use of this technology, so they can see British television abroad, but these systems also usually ignore most of the technologies available to Internet filtering.
