Breaking News: PTA is Going to Get Banned FaceBook in Pakistan

Muslims all over the world especially in Pakistan are decided to Boycott FaceBook on 20th of May 2010, due to clear discrimination of Facebook for not banning blasphemous Fan Page, this time Government of Pakistan is also decided to take bold step against Facebook in Pakistan and now Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom has directed PTA to ban Facebook in Pakistan, According sources close to authority.

According to ProPakistani “A reliable source, who is in direct contact with Secretary MoIT, told that ministry has issued the directive to PTA to ban said blasphemous content in the country.

PTA is directed by Ministry of Information Technology for banning any website or any specific URL in case of any inappropriate content available on it. It is still not confirmed that the whole Facebook will be banned or just single URL will be filtered. I think filtering any specific URL will not effect Facebook, If Government wants to effect FaceBook then Ministery of Information Technology should banned the whole FaceBook.

According to reports Facebook got 2359620 visits from Pakistan daily and this will contribute 47.5% total revenue of Facebook. It is yet to be ascertained if the whole Facebook will be banned or just a single URL will be filtered. In both the situations, step is inline with thousands of Facebook users and according to their urge of boycotting Facebook on May 20th.

It merits mentioning here that a Fan Page on Facebook is encouraging its members to draw Prophet Mohammad’s drawings (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa-aal-hi-Wasallam). Despite thousands of requests, Facebook didn’t put this page down even it violated Facebook’s own terms of services.
