 |
|
Turkey and Thailand have in the past also banned access to the site
Pakistan has blocked access to the popular YouTube website because of content deemed offensive to Islam.
Its telecommunications authority ordered internet service providers to block the site until further notice.
Reports said the content included Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad that have outraged many.
But one report said a trailer for a forthcoming film by Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders, which portrays Islam in a negative light, was behind the ban.
"They asked us to ban it immediately... and the order says the ban will continue until further notice," said Wahaj-us-Siraj, convener of the Association of Pakistan Internet Service Providers.
"Users are quite upset. They're screaming at ISPs which can't do anything.
"The government has valid reason for that, but they have to find a better way of doing it. If we continue blocking popular websites, people will stop using the internet."
Other countries that have temporarily blocked access to YouTube include Turkey and Thailand.

Why worry about anti-Islam at YouTube when Google Trends shows that Pakistani Muslims like XXX, Muslim_till_Death are more interested in pornography? 
Anyway, if not because of the ability to spread anti-Islam messages to Muslims in Muslim dominated countries, I think it is better that Muslims should be barred from using the Internet altogether. Look at what the Pakistani government had done. They are very irresponsible!

Pakistan Cuts Access to YouTube Worldwide
By BRAD STONE
Published: February 26, 2008
SAN FRANCISCO — YouTube was back up two hours after Pakistan, in an act of information provincialism, inadvertently made the video-sharing site inaccessible to users around the world Sunday afternoon.
The blackout left network administrators and Internet activists wondering on Monday how Pakistan’s actions, meant to restrict only its own citizens from accessing YouTube, could have such widespread reverberations — and whether such a disruption could be reproduced by someone with more malicious intent.
The incident began Friday, according to reports, when the Pakistani government of Pervez Musharraf became worried that a video clip attacking Islam might generate widespread unrest among its Muslim population. The government asked the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, which oversees the country’s Internet providers, to cut off access to YouTube for the country’s estimated 8.2 million Internet users.
That action is not unusual. China, Morocco and Turkey have all reacted to potentially risky material posted to YouTube by blocking access to the site within their borders.
But two critical errors allowed Pakistan’s action to echo around the globe for at least a brief period on Sunday afternoon, according to Martin A. Brown, a data engineer at the Renesys Corporation, an Internet monitoring company, which posted a timeline of the incident on its Web site.
As part of its effort to block YouTube within the country, Pakistan Telecom created a dummy route that essentially discarded YouTube traffic, sending it into what Internet experts call a black hole.
Pakistan Telecom then made an error by announcing that dummy route to its own telecommunications partner, PCCW, based in Hong Kong, shortly before noon New York time on Sunday, according to Renesys.
PCCW then made a second error, accepting that dummy route for YouTube and relaying it to other Internet providers around the world.
Internet service providers now had two conflicting online “roads” leading to YouTube. But because an important online protocol called Border Gateway Protocol favors longer routing addresses — they are thought to be more specific — at least 97 major Internet providers and thousands of smaller ones chose the dummy route, Pakistan’s black hole.
About 1 p.m. Sunday, according to the Renesys timeline, YouTube began working to correct the error, in part by telling Internet service providers that they should direct traffic around Pakistan’s dummy route. YouTube has removed the video clip that had concerned Pakistani officials.
In a statement Monday morning, YouTube addressed the situation. “For about two hours, traffic to YouTube was routed according to erroneous Internet protocols, and many users around the world could not access our site,” said a YouTube spokesman, Ricardo Reyes. “We have determined that the source of these events was a network in Pakistan. We are investigating and working with others in the Internet community to prevent this from happening again.”
Steven M. Bellovin, a professor of computer science at Columbia, said the same Internet routing flaw had been exploited in the past by spammers and other ne’er-do-wells, but he worried it could be more widely used now.
“If it’s a big site that’s affected, it will be spotted and dealt with within an hour or so, as happened this time,” he wrote in an e-mail message. “If it’s a small site, it might take a lot longer to find someone who would think to look at this.”
Professor Bellovin said that efforts to upgrade Border Gateway Protocol within Internet standards organizations were moving slowly and that he was not optimistic improvements could be made quickly unless such incidents became more common.
Craig Aaron, communications director at Free Press, an Internet rights organization based in Washington, said the organization was worried that the tactic could be used to stifle free speech online.
“Maybe this Pakistan instance was an anomaly,” he said, “but it certainly should be raising alarms that we should be paying a lot more attention to our international Internet security.”

Pakistan lifts the ban on YouTube
Turkey and Thailand have in the past also banned access to the site
Pakistan's telecoms regulator has lifted the restrictions it imposed on video-sharing website YouTube.
The Pakistan Telecommunications Authority has told internet service providers (ISPs) to restore access to the site, according to a spokeswoman.
Google, the owner of YouTube, confirmed service had been restored in Pakistan.
The attempt to block the site, reportedly because of a "blasphemous" video clip, caused a near global blackout of the site on Sunday.
A spokesman for YouTube told the BBC News website: "We are pleased to confirm that YouTube is again accessible in Pakistan."
It is reported that a trailer for a forthcoming film by Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders, which portrays Islam in a negative light, was behind the restrictions.
HAVE YOUR SAY Using religious beliefs as a reason to block websites is completely unacceptable
John, UK
Send us your commentsThe ban was instigated by Pakistan on Friday. At the time, the BBC News website's technology editor, Darren Waters, said that to block citizens from accessing YouTube it was believed Pakistan Telecom "hijacked" the web server address of the popular video site.
Those details were then passed on to the country's internet service providers so that anyone in Pakistan attempting to go to YouTube was instead re-directed to a different address.
But the details of the "hijack" were leaked out into the wider internet by Hong-Kong based provider PCCW and as a result YouTube was mistakenly blocked by other ISPs around the world.
The block on the servers was lifted once PCCW had been told of the issue by YouTube engineers.
A statement from Google said that the problems lasted for "about two hours".
"Traffic to YouTube was routed according to erroneous internet protocols, and many users around the world could not access our site," it said.
A leading net professional told BBC News: "This was probably a simple mistake by an engineer at Pakistan Telecom. There's nothing to suggest this was malicious."
IP hijacking involves taking over a web site's unique address by corrupting the internet's routing tables, which direct the flow of data around the world.
Lol that didnt last long

Maybe start by being honest and telling all the country in which you live. then you may get a good answer.

This is the Muslim way if you cannot refute or deny something put your head in the sand metaphorically then it does not exist and never happened. Do you think this is why Muslims put their heads to the ground and their asses in the air all the time to mimic the actions of Ostriches???
