coolbuster2007 Posted February 28, 2008 CID Share Posted February 28, 2008 Pakistan removes YouTube ban after fixing bad routing Access to YouTube has been restored in Pakistan after the country ordered local Internet providers to unblock the site. The move comes two days after a mistake by one of the telecommunications companies that caused it to identify itself as the fastest route to YouTube, breaking the site around the world. The problem was corrected after briefly knocking out access to YouTube on Sunday, but the ban within the country remained in effect until Tuesday. While other videos featuring Dutch politician Geert Wilders will still be available to Pakistani users, the offending video that led to the blocking order has been removed by YouTube parent Google. source: betanews.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roco Posted February 28, 2008 CID Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think we have a moral problem , initially it was blocked due to Pakistan's moral code, but due to internation pressure it got the go ahead , wether that was was right or wrong is above my level of thinking, but google and youtube etc,seem to have without respect invaded other cultures , maybe the old saying "where angels fear to tread" has some real meaning , but not for me to judge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
