Pakistan Widens Online Ban to Include YouTube

I think this is another way of trying to stop the freedom of speech. Facebook, you tube, and other web sites are only a window to see the outside world because you stay connected with friends and family outside your country. You can also share information, and in the article was stated that “The Telecommunication Authority said in a statement that the ban was “in line with the constitution of Pakistan, the wishes of the people of Pakistan.” Which I don’t believe the people from Pakistan wish to ban these web sites because in a country with a large population where more than 60 percent are under 25 and most of then use these websites to express their opinions against these authoritarian activities. I think that sometimes people give the wrong impression about the use of social networking because they post things that are totally wrong or not appropriate. Twitter remained open in Pakistan, and people is using this block to comment about the ban of Facebook, Wikipedia, and You Tube.
