Blocking of porn websites (III)
The PTA has basically obeyed the orders of the hacker who sabotaged its website.
BERKELEY, CA, US:
This ban should be placed in context. It has happened after the PTA’s own website was hacked and a message posted on it demanding that pornographic websites be blocked. In that sense, all that the Authority has done is to basically obey the orders of the hacker who sabotaged its website. This is absolutely insane. We are already a country teetering on the brink of absolute destruction. The last thing we need is for our internet to be monitored stringently by an organisation like the PTA.
