Update: Pakistan lifts Youtube ban


Recommended Posts

ABC News tells us that Pakistan's ban on Youtube is over.

From the article:

Pakistan says it has lifted a ban on YouTube, after the website removed cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, adding that an earlier worldwide outage sparked by its actions was unintentional.

Telecommunications officials said that the popular website was up and running again in the conservative Muslim nation after YouTube removed "highly profane and sacrilegious footage" that was offensive to Islam.

"We have issued instructions to all internet service providers that YouTube should be unblocked as the specific content has been removed by the website," Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) spokesman Khurram Mehran said.

What do you guys think, the ban was lifted because some lazy *ss sysadmin in PieNet doesn't knows anything about BGP, or because Youtube complied with the demands? Is Pakistan still offfline?
