ISLAMABAD: Pakistan blocked the social networking website Twitter on Sunday because it refused to remove material considered offensive to Islam, said one of the country’s top telecommunications officials.
Using their logic, they might as-well ban Google for containing anti-muslim content. This is ridiculous, it's not like banning twitter will stop people from posting anti-muslim content. These politicians and mullah's don't even know what's Twitter all about or how these sites even work, just ban them all. Instead of seeing the good in sites like these, without even giving it a second thought they think it's a good idea to ban them. A lot of over-hyped nonsense.
First YouTube, then Facebook, then Facebook again and now twitter. And it's always for the same goddamn reason (Blasphemous content). Just wait a week or 2 and the ban will be over-turned. The point? nothing.
I can't even get twitter to work on a smart-phone app and nor is Hotshield working properly.The government's just a bunch of pompous pricks if you ask me.
UPDATE (21/5/12 ):
Twitter's back online barely a day after the so-called 'ban'. Glad to know there's at-least some hope left in this world.
