PTA approved: Over 1,000 porn sites blocked in Pakistan
PTA provides list of 1,000 most frequented porn sites that are to be blocked. 170,000 others face blockage.
PTA provides list of 1,000 most frequented porn sites that are to be blocked.
KARACHI: Over 1,000 pornographic websites are in the process of being blocked by internet service providers (ISP), following directives issued by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).
While by no means a blanket ban given the vast amount of sites containing explicit content online, an official in a local ISP has confirmed that the PTA has provided a list of 1,000 most frequented porn sites in Pakistan that are to be blocked.
“They are adding to the list on a daily basis” confirmed the source.
The Express Tribune has received a list of over 170,000 websites the PTA purportedly may ban in Pakistan, however, an official from a local ISP provider states that such a blanket ban is unlikely.
“Blocking 170,000 sites is not feasible for any operator. The screening time on a per request basis will essentially slow the internet down to make it unusable.”
Websites currently blocked by ISPs redirect users to a page with a message that reads: “This page is blocked due to restrictions enforced by the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA).”
Earlier this year, a hacker had managed to bypass security on the Supreme Court’s website, posting a message that called on the PTA to ban pornographic websites or face further online attacks. A similar attack was carried out on the PTA’s own website.

If top 1000 are blocked, the next 1000 will be visited….by the ones who aren’t savvy enough to bypass restrictions.

finally. Thanks to the hacker

Though this is not gonna affect the snakes out there as they will find new ways to bypass but it is definitely a good step to stop the novice users not to encounter adult content while surfing the internet. Great Step by PTA

… and what will this exactly achieve? apart from directing our majority of internet traffic to other 193,432,938,093 adult websites that haven’t been blocked yet?
Half-witted, half-baked measures to control half-as-important issue.

well something to cheer for……

The act is merely symbolic with very little practical use. It’s truly amazing the things that we prioritize in this country.

For sure it cannot be stopped 100%, however, better than open access.

I can easily access the sites if have software that would let me access all the blocked sites because I used to use it in dubai to use orkut if i could use orkut than i guess people can bypass these restrictions and sites which help to open blocked sites!!

Reading the comments here makes one wonder that if people were so fed up of the porn sites, what made Mr. Google and its statistics to believe that Pakistan is the top most country to visit pornographic stuff ? :p Come on guys, this is sheer hypocrisy. Visiting pornographic stuff to the extent that it had to be banned and now getting joyous all of a sudden? This should never have reached to this point in the first place.

Its ok, lets not panic. If i start today maybe i’ll be able to watch all the porn on the internet before its blocked by next month.

Keep it up and continue to blocked time to time.

Long live the Hacker!!!

Lets get down to the basics people. what else will our supressed community do? Watching something at home privately without disturbing others is ok. you want our youngsters not to watch porn and not get them married until 30 or later so that they go out n indulge in othrr stuff. rite. what a bunch of nuts! This is normal. watching porn is normal. No abnormalities about it.
Recommend
Our priorities are so completely topsy-turvy that it’s disturbing. As if there isn’t already enough sexual frustration in our society. I think that – at least for young bachelors – porn provided a relatively safe outlet.
Recommend
As a girl I am completely against this decision. No. I don’t watch porn. But our society is extremely frustrated and porn is an outlet for them. Otherwise, I think sexual harassment and crimes will rise manyfold. Repressing a society that is already frustrated. Bad move.
Recommend
1,000 down, 1 trillion to go.

why is it such a big deal if porn is available? it just gives an outlet for everyone to relieve their frustrations…

MIGHT ASWELL ..download all …while i can :p
Recommend
When did I give PTA the authority to decide for me what I can and can’t view on the internet? A very bad precedent has been set and the next target will be the suppression of political dissent. That is the only purpose such filtration systems serve in the Middle East under the guise of moral policing.
Recommend
Expect rape to become more frequent. Contrary to what some dorky feminists argue, the amount of porn men watch is inversely proportional to the incidence of rape. Furthermore, if you don’t like porn, don’t watch it. Let those who enjoy porn watch it in peace.
Recommend
On on hand I think the ban is a good step,…
but on the other hand I request some prudent and effective banning techniques are required…otherwise many sites containing medical data will also be banned.
moroever quite a few sites are legitimate but their names might sound offensive…example being LUND University…It might get banned although it is a premier university….many other examples are there….
lastly censorship comes at a price….if it is stopped at 1000 sites then speed will be lessened only a little bit but if 100000 sites are banned then we will see the dial up ages once again….
lastly best censorship is nimaz and better upbringing by parent…I am a parent of two and I know what when and why my children are watching on net…and they too donot feel like a prisoner…we discuss everything which other and we have set limits ….result…they offer prayers regularly , they abhor bad sites or time wasting and are still studying in most modern colleges and acting normally…..
so even if internet is banned…one thing that is most importnat is the role of parents…..otherwise ban porn on net and sale of porn dvd will increase…crackdown on dvds then some other way will come….bad habbits can be effectively stopped by not letting them start in early years of youth,,…once they get into it….they will find ways….
Recommend
and what about the companies here which host these sites ??????

Back to the scratchy CDs :P

Good Job Hacker Alright. Hats off!
Recommend
well…google called pakistan as PORNistan,so how will the people relieve their frustrations now? We can expect an increase in violence against women now, i suppose.
Porn is a positive resource that relieves frustrations in a safe manner, and is useful to the extent it educates people about improving their sex life, which is very important to achieve a happy and fulfilled life.
All these suicide bombers need is porn,to reduce their frustration which makes them commit suicide.

ha ha ha… how many would they block. there are trillions of em. P.S. some of my bookmarks are workin just fine! :P

Oh, some of the liberal dudes out there used to say why is there aint any ban in porn sites in the “Land of Pure”! Now when the ban has been imposed, why so much fuss?

Did anybody else observe the internet speed slowed down lately?
Recommend
those stupids who think its a wrong move, or porn is a safe way out for frustations, come on guys be wise and mature. What about those times when there was no print or electronic media back in 1700-1800′s? People of those times were also humans having frustations and emotions like us. And those were the times when Muslims were morally and ethically superior and stronger than any other nation. Not like us, socially emotionally morally dead people. If u r frustated than consume ur energies in some positive things instead of useless porn.
Recommend
porn can be good as well….everything in EXCESS is bad…even good deeds because you might be doing hell lot of them but they might be a burden on some1….
everything is good in limits….and porn IS a source of SEX EDUCATION for the ones who want to keep the spark alive in there MARRIAGE as well….
it is just NOT to relieve frustration….everything has two sides to be viewed on…
talk to me when banning these sites will reduce aids and other sex related activites in pakistan or india or whatsoever….FRUSTRATION IS IN THE MIND….NOT ON THE PORN SITES!!!
Recommend
and getting rid of frustration means less REAL sex….whats the harm in that ?!? less sexual crimes….geez we wouldn’t want that would we?!?!?!?!
Recommend
Wait, wait, wait… Watching porn is an outlet for letting your frustrations out?! Banning porn will result in an increase in other sexual crimes?! Believe me, this is a completely mistaken view. Rather, the converse is true.

some ppl here saying blocking porn will do further harm to our morality. i think that’s rubbish… porn actually is the cancer to our collective morality. compare to now, there was not enough porn before. the internet, CDs and MMS have become easy to access, that was not the case before. the trending MMS clips which go viral on internet within days, has destroyed so many lives(imagine one of ur family member in that place). our culture cant absorb such privacy breaches. you cant forcefully put morality into ones mind but least u can do is to set means which can discourage it or keep immoral activities in the closet so it cant prompt others. wen internet started booming i was in college and believe me at that time i didn’t have wild imagination what today’s 6th grader have. immorality is going down the drain. the young girls are getting spoiled as well, who are already vulnerable in this environment.

@Mj……PTA has all the power to decide what rules and regulation they want to implement within their authoritative fields as they see fit for betterment of society.this authority is given to them by the govt of Pakistan, whose constitution we all follow. your freedom of expression, civil or human rights are at stake here. while the Govt is not responsible to take care of spoiled urges.

how are we supposed to let off steam? this will increase the birth rate drastically and also rapes of men and women. the govt shud overturn this immediately

The PTA is basically obeying the orders of the hackers who sabotaged their website. This is absolutely insane. Every day I lose respect for a new government organization in Pakistan.
Someone should bring a case for violation of human rights, freedom of information and freedom of expression. PTA shouldn’t be allowed to control internet content – PERIOD! We are already a country teetering on the brink of absolute destruction. The last thing we need is to be monitored on the internet by an irresponsible organization such as the PTA and develop a myopic vision limited to our country and religion.

those who say that porn is a way to vent do not understand the effects of pornography. Pornography is an addiction. by the way this is what many WESTERN reaserchers say. I wrote western in caps because if this was the opinion of some muslim researcher then his resear would have been labelled as fundamentalist. acoirding to western research pedophiles arent pedophiles from the start, they usually start with casual porn which in some cases develops into pedo habits. @abc:
Recommend
however i do believe that this step is just like putting a bandage on the underlying root causes. when education system fails and the time of our youth is not put into right activities then then the youth will indeed get involved in activities like watching porn. what needs to be done is that our youth should be given a direction or else youths which are an asset will turn into a liability@abc:

Pick up the rapists and pedophiles from the society, and survey them for watching porn. I am sure, you will end up with 100% of them saying yes. And many will agree that watching porn played part in making them to do these heinous acts. The sexual frustration develops, and you let it out by watching porn? Think it the other way; investigate why does the sexual frustration arise at the first place? This would provide a more effective approach for stopping crimes.
Recommend
As people have no control or responsibility of their actions, it is always the attitude that govt should do it. God has created good and bad so that healthy adults can make their own mind. Otherwise God would not have created what is so-called bad. A more perverse example of this attitude is to keep all women in Burqa and hidden inside, because men are not supposed to control themselves. Leave it to us, we would find bad in everything good and new.

It is possible as neighbor countries are already banned more then 90% porn and dirty sites.
Depended on government wills, hope nearby PTA block PORN in Pakistan
Recommend
This is a very bad thing done by PTA blocking porno websites. Because pakistan is already a sexually frustrated society and this frustration is getting more higher every day. If people will not get porn to satisfy themselves they will either start raping girls which is already happening or the ones who are married will start making more babies resulting in an absolute devastation of the society. The porn was only harmless means of releaving this sexual frustration. But PTA has doomed the society and if they think that they can stop internet porn they are very delusional because it is impossible.
Recommend
From what I hear you cant block sites without causing more damage to internet traffic. Is this what is behind the really awful internet access for the past week or so. It has cost our company several thousand rupees already. Should we sue PTA or the LHC judge to recover our hard earned money

Not a very good decision. You can never force anyone for anything. We live in an Islamic community, but that doesn’t mean there are no non muslims here. And even those who are Muslims these days don’t look like real Muslims. So I dont think banning these sites will have much of an impact on our society. In fact it might backfire, as people would now try other desperate needs to satisfy their needs. Poor decision

Seriously, who gave PTA the authority to dictate to us what we should and shouldn’t watch? What’s next? Blanket burka in Pakistan just because it offends the sensibilities of a few people? I don’t support the use of these websites by any means, but what other way of relief do the youth have in this country of shrinking resources and career possibilities?
And whatever happened to free speech? No one has the right to snatch our sense of freedom. In a way, we are no better than the Taliban… and at least they have the guts to come forward and not resort to these covert measures for the so-called benefit of the society.
Why doesn’t the PTA do anything about the number of prostitutes and transexuals littering every nook of the cities after midnight? Isn’t that harmful to the poor, unsuspecting Pakistani population?
I can’t go any further, and regardless of my point of view on pornography, this is a blatant, even criminal precursor to what can become a pervasive control of our thoughts and decisions.Recommend
all such sites should be banned….well done.

very much true.sorry to see such hypocrisy in a community of ignorant laymen wanting to bestow their ideology. Recommend
ok this is ridiculous.. i mean if you blocked 1000 sites .. 1000 others will be created in no time .. and what about the twenty trillion sites that aren’t blocked? first of all they cant block all of it,, even if they do.. people would just download it from some other source..like pirate bay e.t.c , and even if you dont visit porn sites there are ads on simple sites like some downloading sites etc etc and those ads will most likely lead your way to a porn sites 75 % of which will not be blocked bcoz pta probably will have no idea of them.. 5 % will be those new amateur sites that born everyday other 20% of sites which will be blocked will go into the hands of hackers who propably will use proxies and woala! u r in the site .. i mean i know many proxies servers from almost every country .. no site is blocked from me.. not even usa national broadcasting sites.. so there u go ..
results:-
sites not blocked=100 % + sites blocked=0 % + PTA=stupid overall result=BAD MOVERecommend

*A.o.A & HI To All Friends,
I have heard AND EXPERIENCED the sites that are blocked legally by the PTA. IN MY OPINION, this wont ever stop the ‘Porn Addicts’ from watching porn but would encourage them to perform illegally and they might would not know about the Safety Precautions to take and this may lead to Population Explosion, Early Marriages or Infected Pakistan (STD’s). I did not understand that why did they put all the pressure blocking porn all over the Country while they have many other issues to deal with. I am not saying that i am in the favor of porn, but seriously think about the question that raised in everyone’s mind, ‘WHY PORN’…
I agree, for some people this comment would be lengthy but seriously you should read and think about it…
Thanx for giving your time to read!!!
