I am a student and I have used YouTube for help in my studies but now face problems due to the ban on this website. YouTube was banned, based on blasphemous content but the government should understand that students suffer badly because of this ban. Not only this it is also a free medium of information for people but also plays a pivotal role in religious education.
As a result of this ban on YouTube, several websites are also inaccessible for users in Pakistan. Even those outside of the so-called ‘liberal-fascist’ viewpoint are now beginning to understand that the months-long ban on YouTube is suspect.
Top international universities put their lectures on YouTube and this is a great opportunity for students of developing countries such as Pakistan. I request the government and especially the PTA to see the bigger picture and lift the ban immediately so that, at least, students don’t get affected in their studies.
