				<![CDATA[PTA committee with representatives of civil society, mobile phone operators to decide on final list.]]>
			</description>
			<content:encoded>
				<![CDATA[Pakistan rowed back on Tuesday from demands that text messages containing nearly 1,700 "obscene" words should be blocked, following outrage from users and campaigners.

On November 14, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) distributed a list of 1,695 words in English and Urdu to operators, giving them seven days to implement a filtering system.

But the list was met with uproar, both at the attempt to censor messages and the inclusion of many seemingly innocuous terms, among them "Jesus Christ", "lotion", "athlete's foot", "robber", "idiot", "four twenty" and "harder".

On Tuesday, PTA spokesman Mohammad Younis Khan told AFP the authority would consult civil society representatives and mobile phone operators on refining a much shorter list of words, giving no timeframe for any eventual ban.

"At the moment we are not blocking or filtering any word," Khan said. "No final decision has been taken in this regard," he added.

A PTA committee with representatives of civil society and mobile phone operators will decide on a "final list of objectionable words" which Khan conceded could be only around "a dozen".

"We have no plan to block any word until and unless it is approved by that committee and it will take time to reach that decision," he added.

A letter accompanying the list on November 14 said filtering was legal under the Pakistan Telecommunication Act of 1996 which prohibits people from transmitting messages that are "false, fabricated, indecent or obscene".

The PTA on Tuesday claimed that the November 14 list was merely "preliminary" and "advice" for operators to adopt a filtering system.

Mobile operators have already detailed their "concerns and reservations" and said they would seek further clarification from the PTA.

"Most of the words mentioned in the list are used legally," lawyer Syed Mohammad Tayyab told AFP.

"Like 420. It is a section of the Pakistan Penal Code," he said.

"The PTA policy is unjust and unfair on the face of it. It needs judicial review," said Tayyab, who is also a senior prosecutor in terrorism cases.

Campaign group Bytes for All had vowed to challenge the order in court, saying "a new, ruthless wave of moral policing" violated rights to free speech and privacy, and made a mockery of the entire country.]]>

				<![CDATA[Regulatory authority’s ‘content filtering’ campaign meets with widespread derision.]]>
			</description>
			<content:encoded>
				<![CDATA[The country’s telecom regulatory body, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), has backtracked from the list of words it sent to telecom service providers to block text messages as part of a ‘content filtering’ campaign after it met with widespread derision and a threat of legal action.

The PTA had sent a list of hundreds of words in English and Urdu to telecom companies asking them to develop a software that would automatically block an SMS containing any of these words — including words like “Jesus Christ” and “taxi”.

It carried a total of 1,109 words under its English list while another 258 in the Urdu list. Words like “tongue, stupid, rape, public, murder, joints, jug, fairy, drunk, devil, deposit, crap, camel toe, athletes foot,” etc were also part of the list among many other commonly-used words and phrases that do not violate the so-called moral code.

A ‘confidential’ directive issued by PTA Director General Services Muhammad Talib Dogar, distributed on November 14, directed cellular service providing companies to implement the order within seven days.

Once the issue was highlighted in local and international media, the regulatory authority said that the lists were “not final” and these were just proposed.

“This is not the list which is to be blocked or filtered. This list was prepared just to help the operators of different companies to design their software to meet the purpose,” said PTA spokesperson Mohammad Younis Khan.

“The final list will be prepared after getting input from and consulting with all stakeholders and will be provided to the companies for implementation.”

The PTA also denied that Monday marked any formal deadline on the ban as messages containing the words were still transmitted. “There were two weekly holidays on November 19 and 20 [the Saturday-Sunday weekend] and there are still two days left to complete this seven-day period,” Khan told AFP.

He acknowledged the reservations of telecom companies and said the PTA was “ready to sort that out through mutual discussions”.

Meanwhile, an official of the PTA, speaking anonymously, said that the directives were issued under “protection from spam, unsolicited, fraudulent and obnoxious communication regulations, 2009”.

He said that not only were the companies asked to implement the orders within seven days of issuance of the directives, but they were also supposed to send the PTA a monthly-report specifying the number of blocked text messages by each operator.

Officials of two leading cellular service providers also confirmed to The Express Tribune that they had received the list and have responded to the PTA over what they called “ridiculous” directives.

“The list carried the word ‘Butt’. Butt is a cast in this country. For instance, if someone used the name Afzal Butt in a text message, this SMS should be blocked immediately under PTA directives.”

Telecom officials said that every company has already provided its customers a service under which they can block unwanted calls and SMS from any number. “SMS generates most of the revenue for service providers and it is usually used by youngsters. It is personal communication between two individuals ... We can’t block it this way,” an official of a telecom company said.

PTA Chairman Dr Muhammad Yasin and DG Services Dogar were not available for comment. (WITH ADDITIONAL INPUT FROM AFP)

				<![CDATA[PPP’s Salim Khokhar reminds house of how Christians had protested when American priest was in the news.]]>
			</description>
			<content:encoded>
				<![CDATA[If we are barred from using the words ‘Jesus Christ’ in text messages, how will we celebrate Christmas and other religious events, protested a Christian MPA on Monday.

The ruling party’s Salim Khursheed Khokhar tried to lodge his point with a sit-in protest once he was denied permission to move a resolution. “When the American priest desecrated the Holy Quran, we [the Christian community] condemned it and criticised those who used derogatory language against Prophet Muhammad (pbuh),” he said. “What about the fact that we are deprived of our religious rights and face discrimination in Pakistan.” The MPA requested the speaker to take up the resolution because if he didn’t how would Christians celebrate Christmas and other religious events.

On Monday, Pakistan’s mobile operators deferred implementing a ban on nearly 1,700 “obscene” words from text messages, saying they were seeking further clarification from the telecom authority.

In a harsh voice, Speaker Nisar Khuhro asked the MPA to settle down and gave him permission to move the resolution later. Khokhar responded by saying that the issue was an important one, so if the speaker could bend the rules for other resolutions, then why not this one. Khokhar then started to shout and threw the assembly agenda aside as he went to sit in front of the speaker’s chair in protest. “I am being deprived of my religious rights and will not move till the resolution is taken seriously,” he said. “I do not care if anyone votes for it or not.”

Sindh Law Minister Ayaz Soomro and Sindh Local Bodies Minister Agha Siraj Durrani rushed to reassure Khokhar and took him back to his seat. They said that the matter would be resolved. The speaker said that he was not opposing the resolution, but the MPA should have informed him earlier. Khokhar responded and said that he had submitted a copy of the resolution to the speaker and the law minister. Soomro said that he would contact the chairman of the PTA and discuss the issue with him.

The MPA also said that people who faced blasphemy charges were awarded capital punishment but no action was taken against those who used derogatory words for Jesus Christ and attacked the minorities. Sindh Archives Minister Rafique Engineer, Sindh Power Minister Shazia Marri, Deputy Speaker Shehla Raza and Muttahida Qaumi Movement MPA Faisal Sabzwari condemned the PTA decision.

The Hindu community

The Shikarpur murder was brought up in the session when Hindu MPA Pitanbar Sewani said that the police had failed to arrest the main suspect. Sindh Home Minister Manzoor Wassan assured Sewani that the police had arrested relatives of the suspect and would arrest him soon.

PPP MPA Ghalib Domki said that some criminal gangs from Balochistan were causing trouble in Kashmore. “They have attacked in our areas with rockets and have destroyed three to four million acres of crops,” he said. “No police official is cooperating with us.” He added that these people were also involved in causing unrest in Baluchistan.

MQM MPA Khalid Ahmed said that load shedding was causing problems in different areas of the city. Marri said that the Karachi Electric Supply Company was not giving the issue the attention it needed.

Pricey paddy

PPP MPA Haji Munwar Ali Abbasi said that they should support farmers and increase the price of paddy by Rs400.

				<![CDATA[Communications authorities should focus on providing better services rather than acting as a moral policing force.]]>
			</description>
			<content:encoded>
				<![CDATA[Mobile phone service providers across the country must, under orders from the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA), prevent the texting, over the vast network system, of some 1,600 words and also submit a monthly report on this. The idea is to control morality. This, of course, is absurd and the entire exercise is also an obviously futile one. It boggles the mind to consider how this collection of ‘offensive language’ was compiled and by whom. We are under threat of becoming the laughing stock of the world. Some of the ‘banned’ words — such as ‘idiot’ or ‘fairy’ or ‘deeper’ can, of course, be used in an entirely innocuous fashion.

But this, of course, is besides the point. The problem we face here is not the ludicrousness of the measure taken, or the choice of words placed on the list, but the fact that such a measure has been taken at all. This is the first time the PTA has made any effort to control the content of text messages on grounds of controlling obscenity. The organisation has lately also made an effort to ban internet access to sites it deems pornographic — even though such material can be obtained in many different ways. The issue that arises here is the effort to bar free speech, free choice and impinge on the privacy of persons communicating between themselves. It is also a fact that what one individual sees as objectionable, may be perfectly acceptable to another. The judgment on this cannot, and must not, be dictated by an outside authority whose actions threaten to turn our country into an Orwellian State. Instead, communications authorities should focus their efforts on providing better and more efficient services to consumers rather than acting as a moral policing force.

We need more civil society protests. Some campaigners, such as the group, Bytes for All, have objected to the clampdown on freedom in cyber space. They need to be joined by other groups so that the basic principle of free expression can be upheld and we retain the right to call ourselves a full-fledged democracy.

				<![CDATA[Pakistan's mobile operators on Monday deferred implementing a ban on nearly 1,700 "obscene" words from text messages, saying they were seeking further clarification from the telecom authority.

The list, including words from "quickie" to "fairy" to "Jesus Christ" and obtained by AFP, was distributed on November 14 with operators given seven days to comply, but has met with widespread derision and a threat of legal action.

Although the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has previously blocked websites deemed pornographic or offensive to Islam, it is the first time the country has sought to censor text messages.

"Obviously there are concerns and we have some reservations," said Omar Manzur, spokesman for Mobilink, the country's leading telecom operator.

"This regulation will be implemented only after mutual agreement between the PTA and us. We should wait until the end of this discussion," Manzur told AFP.

An official at one telecom firm told AFP that filtering the system could degrade the quality of network services and greatly inconvenience subscribers if text messages were not delivered due to the wrong choice of words.

A spokesman for rival company Telenor said he was "not in a position to say when this (ban) will be implemented".

"If this is a regulation and a law then we have to implement it but so far we are in discussions," Sohaib Mustafa, the Telenor spokesman, told AFP.

In addition to more conventional obscenities, other words and phrases on the list of 1,695 terms, issued in English and Urdu, include "monkey crotch", "athlete's foot", "idiot" and "damn", as well as "deeper", "four twenty", "go to hell", "harder", "looser" and "no sex".

The PTA denied that Monday marked any formal deadline on the ban as messages containing the words were still transmitted.

"There were two weekly holidays on 19 and 20 November (the Saturday-Sunday weekend) and there are still two days left to complete this seven-day period," Mohammad Younis Khan told AFP.

He acknowledged the "reservations" of telecom companies and said the PTA was "ready to sort that out through mutual discussions".

The letter accompanying the list of banned words said the move was legal under the Pakistan Telecommunication Act of 1996 which prohibits people from transmitting messages that are "false, fabricated, indecent or obscene".

But campaign group Bytes for All has said it will challenge the order in court, saying "a new, ruthless wave of moral policing" violated rights to free speech and privacy, and made a mockery of the entire country.

				<![CDATA[Pakistan's mobile operators on Sunday were scrambling to block text messages containing any of over 1,600 "obscene" terms banned by the country's telecoms authority ahead of a Monday, November 21 deadline.

The list, including words from "quickie" to "fairy" to "Jesus Christ" and obtained by AFP, was distributed on November 14 with operators given seven days to comply, but has met with widespread derision and a threat of legal action.

"There are more than 1,600 words in the list including indecent language, expletives, swear words, slang etc, which have to be filtered," an official at a telecoms firm told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media.

Other words and phrases on the list of 1,695 terms, issued in English and Urdu, include "monkey crotch", "athlete's foot", "idiot" and "damn", as well as "deeper", "four twenty", "go to hell", "harder", "looser" and "no sex".

(Read: Filtering SMS: PTA may ban over 1,500 English, Urdu words)

The letter accompanying the list says networks must also submit monthly reports on implementation of the ban. It is the first time the country has sought to censor text messages.

Campaign group Bytes for All said Sunday it would challenge the ban in court, saying it violated rights to free speech and privacy.

"We are now witnessing a new ruthless wave of moral policing in the digital communication sphere of Pakistan imposed by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority," country coordinator Shahzad Ahmed told AFP.

"By developing extremely detailed lists of allegedly 'offensive' words and forcing telecom operators to filter them out to make our society moral and clean, PTA has not only made a mockery of itself but also of the entire country and its government," he added.

The move in the Muslim-majority country sparked derision from local Twitter users using the hashtag #PTAbannedlist.

Twitter user, Fariha Akhtar, posted: "Damage to #ebanking?" after the word "deposit" was discovered on the banned list.

"The #PTABannedList is also an excellent opportunity for our street language and slang to evolve and grow by coming up with newer abuses," tweeted blogger Shahid Saeed.

"Seriously, why aren't we protesting this ban? Jokes apart, they've banned words that have no vulgar implications whatsoever," tweeted Sara Muzzamil.

Several Twitter users also questioned the inclusion of the term "ass puppy" on the list, saying they had never heard of it.]]>

				<![CDATA[Over 1,500 English and Urdu words to be filtered in SMSs according to PTA letter floating online.]]>
			</description>
			<content:encoded>
				<![CDATA[After rumours of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) imposing a ban on porn sites in the country, a new PTA letter floating online orders the imposition of a “system” to ban select words in mobile SMS messages.

A set of two extensive lists in English and Urdu have allegedly been compiled by the PTA. The list of English words crosses the 1,000 figure, while the Urdu list contains over 550 words.

A scan of the letter (dated November 14, 2011) sent from Muhammad Talib Doger, Director General (Services) PTA, states that the filtering of content through SMS must be considered under the scope of “Protection from Spam, Unsolicited, Fraudulent and Obnoxious Communication Regulations, 2009" and the SOPs laid down to control spamming. The letter is written with reference to a meeting held with mobile phone operators on October 18, 2011 in Islamabad.

PTA has ordered the implementation of the system within seven days of the issuance of the said letter. All operators have been asked to submit a monthly report to PTA regarding the number of blocked text messages.

“Spamming” has been defined as:
The transmission of harmful, fraudulent, misleading, illegal or unsolicited messages in bulk to any person without express permission of the recipient, or causing any electronic system to show any such message or is being involved in falsified online user account registration or falsified domain name registration for commercial purpose.
The letter states that under the “provisions and dictum” by the higher courts, the “fundamental rights of privacy and freedom of speech and expressions guaranteed under the constitution are not unrestricted and are subject to reasonable restrictions imposed by law”.

Clause (d) of sub-section (1) of section 31 of the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-organization) Act, 1996 states that:
Whoever “unauthorisedly transmits through a telecommunication system or telecommunication service any intelligence which he knows or has reason to be false, fabricated, indecent or obscene” is an offence under the Act.
Content filtering may be done through “through automated machine process(s)/function(s)”  without reading or disclosing “content of intelligence” by a human being in order to protect consumers under provisions of the Act.

Under license condition No.7.8 of the cellular mobile license:
The Licensee shall take all reasonable steps to track, locate and prevent the source of harassing, unsolicited, offensive, fraudulent or unlawful communication.
Director PR for PTA, Mohammad Younis, while speaking to The Express Tribune, said that he was not aware of any such letter being sent out, adding that many letters are sent out to operators every day, and not all of them go through the PR office.

Speaking on whether the PTA had taken a decision on SMS filtering in the past, Younis said that the authority does not take such decisions and only passes on the instructions to licensees once a decision is taken by a ministerial committee.

While much of the list contains expletives, a number of words to be banned include medical terms, terms used by particular minority groups, common words from the English language and rap group, WuTang Clan.

Medical terms to be banned:

Athletes foot

Breast

Condom

Flatulence

Intercourse

Period

Premature

Tongue

Herpes

Daily usage words to be banned:

Deeper

Fairy

Fingerfood

Hole

Hostage

Religious terms to be banned:
