Its strange, such hoaxes should not be even recognized, its more like a simple popularity stunt. What really needs attention is some actual censorship being enforced by the Government of Pakistan on all blogs hosted on Blogspot.com
On 30th of Feb the regulatory body, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has voluntarily started blocking all blogspot.com websites The Supreme Court of Pakistan (March 3) has only instructed the PTA to block 12 specific websites but instead the Government misused this authority to actually enforce a broad spectrum ban on any site it can care to choose. including all blogs hosted on blogspot.com which probably hosts upwards of 10 million blogs
A group of Free Speech activists from Pakistan have joined hands to appeal this problem and hope that everyone who truly believes in free speech would support the cause and promote it to the international media which in turn will question and push the Govt of Pakistan into lifting the ban.
