LHC Orders PTA to Ban Facebook in Pakistan

By Mehwish Khan | 19, May 2010 | 157 Comments

Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday ordered to block Facebook till May 31 which encourages members to draw Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) caricatures.

Justice Ejaz Chaudhry said that the government should record its protest at international level.

Hearing a petition regarding blasphemous page on Facebook, Chaudhry Zulfiqar Advocate said that Facebook hurt the emotions of Muslims with the publication of said page about blasphemous caricatures but the government became a silent spectator.

Deputy Attorney General Naveed Inayat Malim said that PTA has blocked the blasphemous link of Facebook. Director Telecom Mudassar Hussain said that there would be great loss after the complete closure of Facebook. Lawyers and civil society representatives protested the statement of Director Telecom.

The government yesterday had directed the PTA on the orders of LHC to block the blasphemous caricatures link on Facebook. After the directive, the PTA took necessary steps and blocked the link on Facebook.

Update: ISPAK has confirmed that PTA has directed all ISPs to completely ban Facebook till May 31st, 2010.

Update: Micronet sent following email to its customers

Micronet has blocked access to www.facebook.com in compliance with orders of Lahore High Court passed today.

Facebook has been holding a competition to draw caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and has not removed the objectionable hate materials despite thousands of emails from Pakistani facebook community.

This access would remain block till 31 May 2010 or further orders by the Lahore High Court.

Dear Brothers

(20th May)
It’s extremely painful and humiliating.

It is only because we all Muslims are weak and powerless due to shameless leadership (Almost All Leaders) who bent us at our knees. Their corruption, Ridiculous decisions has had damaged a lot. Really made us helpless

(Can any leader say I bring my money back to Pakistan where Face book Moderators are crunching our hearts)

Let’s all promise now to fight against corrupt and spine less leaders

We will Inshaala compete all blasphemed people and Nations with technology, Knowledge and Muhammad (PBUH). Love

Brothers work hard to

• Earn Knowledge (all kinds of specially Technological).
• Not using imported goods.
• Fight against lawless ness, and Injustice with your vote
• Be United
• Act wisely (With logic and reason )

May Allah Bless you

Thanks a lot
- ishtiaq ahmad
  
  Mr Mohammad zahid i liked yours very encouraging words and good advice to pakistani nation. I noticed that westerners think we are cowards and slave, and this is just of our selfish leaders, so thanks i was so hurt and was inferiority complex,that now our prophet personality is not even safe and they people have come to make us totaly nacked. one thing again our amam sao3d arab did not said any thing its so shamed,, there duty was to call all uma for ban facebook, so shame.

A for Apple

PTA should do what they did to youtube, redirect it to some dummy site – most of the routers in world will see this as fastest path to FB and will redirect all users…. and once complete – PTA can apologize to FB ;) …. I will like it!

  Good Idea. I like that! But will it really work?
  - A for Apple
    
    It worked for YouTube – here is the article…
    
    http://www.technewsworld.com/story/61821.html?wlc=1274270654
    
    “The PTA asked Pakistani ISPs to block access to three IP addresses that are associated with YouTube’s site.
    
    The ISPs could have used one of several methods to block access to the IP addresses, Danny McPherson, chief research officer at network infrastructure security provider Arbor Networks, told TechNewsWorld.
    
    They could have deployed access-control lists on all their router interfaces leading to those addresses; routed the three IP addresses to a null, the ISP equivalent of a black hole on the network; or basically have all packets that were being sent to or from those three IP addresses automatically discarded by the network.
    
    The second option requires the ISPs to add static routes to every router in their networks. However, the effect of that is to tell the world that traffic to those three IP addresses should be sent to the ISPs instead of to YouTube.”

AWESUM AWESUM! cant believe…. LHC took the BEST action.. i must say this is called UNITY to show our gratitude to our BELOVED BELOVED Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H).

I cant express my feelings of happiness over this decision. I hope to see FACEBOOK completely banned throughout Pakistan for atleast next 10 days.

And if they do again in future, we must PERMANENTLY Ban facebook. (yes we can live without Facebook… Facebook TEAM is very proud of its product) but we DITCH such a cheap product whoese owners are ATHIEST and BIASED…

May Almighty Allah curse them on Day of Judgement.
Surely Allah is greatest Power. Allah-Akbar!
Abdulrehman

MashAllah… Facebook should be completely banned forever and so is youtube just like in China.

They are hurting Muslims/

Good step.

Yes this is indeed a good step and I am glad to see my fellow Pakistani Muslims supporting this decision.

But the government needs to do more. The government should take up this matter further and protest at international level.

Facebook completely banned for me. Okara – PTCL Broadband.
Thanks LHC. Go to hell Facebook.

Aamir Bhai why Director Telecom Mudassar Hussain said that there would be great loss after the complete closure of Facebook ????
Why he is so caring about lost of facebook ?
- admin
  
  Only he can answer to your question…!
  - Tanveer Akhtar
    
    Amazing that Director Telecom Mudassar Hussain is worrying about facebook’s loss
Athar

Only in PAKISTAN. We should really completely ban technology in Pakistan and again start living in caves. Like ostrich and pigeons we like to hide our face from realities. Rather than ban a single page the whole of facebook has been banned Subhan Allah.
- Rarian Rakista
  
  Your children are already around the ban on Facebook, some of them are supporting the atheists in their rights to draw the images. All you are doing is creating a distance between you and your children that may lead to them overthrowing your country, lol.
- Fawad Akhtar
  
  So is a single site the representative of all technology? There are always other options, we don’t have to stick with biased people.
  If you love a stupid site more than your honor that’s fine. But I support the ban and I deactivated my account at exactly 20th of may. I have better things to do than looking at lame pictures all day. I prefer space.com and other educational sites.
  Be liberal but don’t be a supporter of the Kuffar.
Atif Ashfaq

very gr8 step by LHC…and yes i totaly agree,PTA should do what they did to youtube i.e redirect it to some dummy sites and once complete then after a day or two PTA can revert and do a fake apologize to FB……facebook go to hell

I really appreciate the court’s action, but it would have been really great if a couple hours notice were given to users to remove/deativate their account. More users could have changed their display pic. This way the message given to FB could have been more clear.

Banning FB will cleary result in lost revenue of local social media advertising agencies, who will eventually contact FB directly to remove the blasphemous pages. This is a good step taken by LHC, but some planning may have resulted in a sharp hit.

With great power, comes great responsibility!

According to me, all social networking sites should apply some limits or make some policies so that no one should be able to write or share anything about anyone’s religion or anyone in history.

If this is not controlled, then there will be chaos everywhere. We have so much limited life and we are still fighting over religious issues. No one should be able to make such comments or post anything which is a disgrace for others.

I hope everyone understands and these social networking sites which have become giants in their respective domains should feel the responsibility.

An outstanding step taken by the government of Pakistan. Facebook is banned by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority. Let’s hope Facebook realize and remove such events/groups from its site.

Hi guys as you know that Pakistan Government has banned Facebook, which is a very brave and good Action. Now i am going to give you a alternative website’s link, where you can perform almost all those kinds of activities which u were able perform at Facebook. All of you login at http://www.netwatan.com. Its Pakistan’s first ever social networking website and i guess now this is the time when we should support Pakistani Products and services, so that our industry could grow and can reach to the International level, so that it would become easy to voice our objections on different matters like this matter of facebook. Thanks and do loging to Netwatan.

Point 7 and 10 in the safety section of the Terms and Conditions (Facebook):

7. You will not post content that: is hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.

10. You will not use Facebook to do anything unlawful, misleading, malicious, or discriminatory.

Yet they are not going to block/delete the page, You can see the devil inside the creators and management of Facebook:

A Facebook spokesman told FoxNews.com it has no plans to censor any of the pages associated with the campaign or the counter-campaign, though threats will be removed.

“Threats of violence and direct statements of hate against particular communities violate our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities and are removed when reported to us,” reads a company statement to FoxNews.com.

“Facebook is highly self-regulating, and users can and do report content that they find questionable or offensive. Groups that express an opinion on a state, institution, or set of beliefs — even if that opinion is outrageous or offensive to some — do not by themselves violate our policies. When a group created to express an opinion devolves into threats or hate speech, we will remove the threatening or hateful comments and may even remove the group itself.”

The statement continued: “With now more than 400 million people around the world with varying opinions and ideals using Facebook as a place to discuss and share things that are important to them, we sometimes find people discussing and posting about controversial topics.”

Freedom of speech should be there but there are limits to it. One cannot use freedom of speech to hurt beliefs of more than a billion Muslims in the world. Muslims respect beliefs & prophets of all other religions. If others can’t give respect to them atleast they shouldn’t hurt them.

Its not fair because when someone might say anything against the jews, african americans and gays! then that’s wrong….. but if its against Muslims then its fine? People who deny the holocaust should be shut up because its anti-semetic.. but people who offend muslims are heroes because its freedom of speech?

Majority of Facebook users are against this page and more than 63,000 users reported to facebook for a ban on it as it is not only blasphemous but also violation of Facebook TOS. Item 3.7 of Facebook TOS says “You will not post content that: is hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence”. Facebook hasn’t removed the page, giving its indirect support for the cause.

Facebook is earning through advertisement shown to the visitors. Lose in visitors means lose in earnings. People who love peace & have respect for others should de-activate their facebook account & should file a petition in their local courts to get BAN facebook in their region until Facebook removes the blasphemy page. Pakistan’s court has taken a very good step by putting a BAN on facebook other countries should also follow it. This is the best & peaceful way of protest.

good step to ban facebook

Athar:

I guess you’ve been brought under a Non Muslim atmosphere. Banning facebook, youtube and wikipedia doesnt mean Pakistanis started living in caves. If you’re so social and love to stay on facebook molesting young girls and parting in childish silliest activities like teenage girls, we’ll appreciate you leave the country and move to any advance country.

Facebook should be banned forever, Youtube should be banned because it contains blasphemous videos, Wikipedia should be banned because it contains biased information on Muslims. Go to wikipedia and look for the article Draw Mohammed and even if those contents dont enrage you, then you should change your name to Sidharth or Krishna.

You should be very careful about religious comments.
Ali

Facebook should be banned forever due to its discriminatory behaviour.

They should be given no chance at all.

I have more respect for PTA, thanks a lot PTA, keep it up. We all are with you, except for some scums.

Alhumdulilah Pakistan is a nuclear state our Govt. should demand the Western world to handover these cuplrits to us!! so that they may face our courts and they all should be warn that we have made ourself nuclear Arms capable state and we know how to use them aswell if such activities took place in future we wouldnt have any choice then to launch an attack on whatever piece of land who dare to provoke us by humiliating our Beloved Prophet (S.A.W) to get our Knives on the necks of the doers!!!!

It should not have been banned at all. Why is it in Pakistan when any thing wrong happens we have to take extreme measures, remember when cartoons were made in Denmark of the same issue we burned down each other shops, cars, assets etc. Benazir was killed we again burned down looted each others property. On 10th of Muharram we looted & burned down each other property (Boltun market). If any body on facebook has done it banned that page only or may be leave it alone & dont visit that page. We all know you can buy liqueur openly, prostitution is spreading why dont we take action on that?? Look at our economy its going down the drain why dont we do some thing about it??
Wake up Pakistanis please!!!!

blashpemous page or pages must be banned. no one even face book should act against the established laws of the Allah Almighty [God, the Creator]. They should themselves do not allow such pages which are below morality and dignity.
