THE PTA and the Supreme Court have banned YouTube in Pakistan. This ban is serving no purpose. As a student, we are also facing some odds.

There is a big contradiction in what the SC ordered and what is actually happening in the cyber world. There are a number of Internet proxy servers through which one can access the ‘blocked’ YouTube in Pakistan.

Anyone who wishes to access YouTube in Pakistan is using these proxy servers. There must be a way out and we must think of a solution how to register our protest to YouTube authorities on blasphemous material instead of blocking the website.

Freedom of information, no matter how offensive is the right of every human being. We can make up our own minds. We dont need the government to tell us what we should see or hear.

I would like the govt to block face book as well, it will save the young generation from wasting time and going down the path of decadence.
