The democratically elected government of Pakistan, with the passage of time has developed an unusual love-hate relationship with social network websites – most notably, Facebook and Twitter.
First it was the 2010 ban of Facebook, when one of its pages featured blasphemous caricatures of Prophet Muhammad. The PTA, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority made sure it banned all of Facebook for everyone in Pakistan. The latest now, was the ban on Twitter where apparently because of ‘contentious content’, the PTA exercised its authority and shut it down.
