Torrent sites such as Pirate Bay, KickassTorrents, Torrentz, Extra Torrent and Mininova were officially blocked by the Interne Service Providers (ISPs) in Pakistan on Wednesday.
Other sites, including Tumblr and TorrentFreak, belonging to famous atheist Richard Dawkins, were also blocked. His stance towards religion might be the catalyst for the decision.
So far, Pakistan has blocked thousands of sites that included adult content or religious or morally-unsuitable data. Previously, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have also been blocked.
While the blocked sites and many others were all ready on the blacklist, torrent sites have only now been added to it.
Some reports indicated that private torrent sites were still accessible and many proxy sites were available for Pirate Bay and KickassTorrents.
I’m sorry, these people need to GROW UP and stop living under the illusion that they have more right to get angry than anyone else when someone makes fun of their religion. I mean, honestly, if most Christians or Jews got THIS offended everytime someone made fun of Christianity or Juidaism online, the world would be a very violent place.
And for crying out loud, people…..
IT’S A YOUTUBE VIDEO MADE BY A GUY WHO MAKES PORN!The whole purpose of Innocence of Muslims is to offend you, and these people fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
YouTube is not all about that stupid movie, it's also about educations, entertainments, musics, animations etc etc, In Saudi Arabia YouTube is still working. Why? Because King of KSA used his brain and didn't blocked YouTube. Again, you guys need to grow up. Just block the URL of the video so no one can access in Pakistan rather than just blocking the whole site, I am a animator and I upload animations on YouTube and soon I will move to Pakistan, at this point I will be in under pressure because YouTube will be blocked in Pakistan and I will have no other way around to upload my animations on YouTube, SERIOUSLY. GROW. UP!
They are fools,they don't have brain……i am a student of engineering and seriously i know the worth of youtube and torrent….it contains a lot of educational stuff i.e;project ideas,lectures,tutorials etc…many of the students like me are suffering after these sites has been banned in Pakistan….. what can i say to this foolish government….
It seems creating a new pakistan out of India isn't helping much way either !!! If India is bad then Pakistan is worst 😉
I think ptcl wants to get special charges for providing youtube and torrent services.
