Pakistan Blocks Youtube
Posted on February 25, 2008 - Filed Under Pakistan, citizen journalism |
The Pakistani government announced today it was blocking access to youtube in its country.
The Pakistani government is also asking YouTube to remove “objectionable content,” said Nabiha Mehmood, a spokeswoman for the Pakistani Telecommunications Authority. It is not clear what Pakistan is referring to as objectionable.
This seems to be another attempt by President Pervez Musharraf to squelch means of dissent in Pakistan.
Pakistan now joined the honor roll of other nations that have blocked youtube. This list includes: Brazil, China, Iran, Morocco, Myanmar (also known as Burma), Syria and Thailand.
