Pakistan Blocks YouTube

Posted by Soulskill on from the out-of-sight-out-of-mind dept.

Multiple readers have written to tell us of news that Pakistan has ordered its ISPs to block access to YouTube "for containing blasphemous web content/movies." This follows increasing unrest in Pakistan over a Danish newspaper's reprinting of cartoons which depict Islam in a less-than-favorable light. The cartoons also sparked controversy when they were first published a few years ago.

    Remind me what is wrong with circumcision? It may have religious roots, but I do believe that it has some medical benefits as well.

    Here at slashdot, you place your comments in less-than and greater-than signs, not square brackets, in to provide italics, thus you would need to use < i > and < /i >
