Porn sites start getting banned in Pakistan (Good or Bad Step?)

It seems like pornography websites are getting blocked by Internet services providers. Getting emails from visitors asking about porn websites banning. There are few websites we tested and yes found blocked.

Youtube is working fine as their policy is strict against pornography. But there are   ‘other tubes’ like tubegal***, tube1*, ovgui** which are completely shutdown by service providers. It’s not confirmed that all the internet providers did that , we checked atleast on 2 internet services. Websites are blocked!

After investigating further, we find out few posts on other Pakistani forums about this recent blocks. We learnt that PTA actually instructed Internet service providers to block atleast 1000 (One Thousand) porn websites immediately. Off course there are thousands of other websites which have same explicit material.

Do you support this action? Please comment.
