The popular micro-blogging site Twitter has been banned today in Pakistan under direct orders from Raja Parvez Ashraf who’s the Minister for Information. The ban isn’t limited to just PTCL (the country’s biggest ISP) as users of almost all the ISPs of Pakistan report the inability to access the site.
According to ProPakistani’s sources the ban was issued in regard to blasphemous content being shared and displayed on the site. PTA is reported to have contacted Twitter and even Facebook and warned them that if even one page containing blasphemous content was read by users in Pakistan the website would be banned.
No official release has been posted yet but we’ll keep you posted.
