Say No to Internet Censorship in Pakistan

www.pakpositive.com Pakistan's Ministry of Information Technology is attempting to further restrict freedom of expression, creativity and peaceful thought on the Internet.

The Ministry's bigoted, self-righteous reasoning is the usual smokescreen issues like blasphemy, pornography, etc.

These are misguided and idiotic efforts of some holier-than-thou, self-appointed guardians who are trying to propose an extensive filtering system that will, if implemented, allow authorities to block potentially millions of "undesirable" URLs at the national level.

The spineless ISPs and Telcos are just too scared to speak out. A very small group of Pakistanis is trying to bring these issues to the court of public opinion.
