Pakistan Orders ISPs To Block Over 400k Porn Websites (independent.co.uk)

Posted by Soulskill on from the how-to-trigger-a-revolution dept.

Bruce66423 writes: The agency that regulates telecommunications in Pakistan has ordered ISPs to block a huge list of adult websites. "The action follows a recent order passed down by the Supreme Court in Pakistan requiring the telecom sector to 'take remedial steps to quantify the nefarious phenomenon of obscenity and pornography that has an imminent role to corrupt and vitiate the youth of Pakistan.' According to the Express Tribune, just days after the ruling by the Supreme Court, the telecom sector regulator, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, added it had provided internet service providers with a list of 429,343 domains to be blocked as it attempts to control the distribution of pornographic material.

    So we can ASK for the list? Seriously - viewing it might reveal censorship of politics and religion, not just smut.

    Simple, redirect the porn sites to a site containing instructions on how to make a suicide vest, plus the current number of virgins using one will earn you in the afterlife.
