Pakistan Limits Internet

Pakistan/You tube

This is a pretty interesting story....except for this quote from Wahaj-us-Siraj, the convener of the Association of Pakistan Internet Service Providers: "The government has valid reason for that, but they have to find a better way of doing it. If we continue blocking popular websites, people will stop using the Internet."

I agree with the beginning of this statement. Yes, the government does have a legitimate reason for putting up these walls in the virtual world, but that's just theoretical. Banning the entirety of You tube from an entire nation? Seems a bit much wouldn't you say? That's my first order of beef; second, the end part of Siraj's statement: "...people will stop using the Internet." Pardon my french but that's a bunch of BS. I'm sure an outrage would ensue, however the notion that people, an entire nation even, would stop using the Inter Web is quite feasibly impossible. BBC Journalists....get a clue.
