YouTube closure

Published February 26, 2013

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.

‘The rule of law’ is being weaponised, taking on whatever meaning that fits the political objectives of those invoking it.
