Twitter.com is showing “This Site is Restricted” message to many users across the country, however, we couldn’t confirm official stance from PTA on twitter’s ban.
There are some 1150 plus websites banned in the crackdown against blasphemous content that has been available across the internet.
It merits mentioning here that Twitter is also widely used through third party applications through Twitter API. In this method users are not required to log-in on Twitter’s website.
Facebook, Youtube, Flickr are amongst other main victims of the collective shot down by PTA.
Update: We are told that Twitter is snipping in and out on various ISPs. It can be a temporary ban like what it happened with Google yesterday.
Update: As mentioned above, Twitter is repeatedly snipping in and out on some ISPs. A fellow on TGP just mentioned that only certain lists are banned, not the whole Twitter.
This is simply overreaction by the authorities.
Hum aur hamari joshili awan…
I agree
Its Confirmed !!!

Facebook Not Yet Takes Down Controversial Page
Facebook only block that page for Pakistan
Twitter should also be banned. The day we start banning these international websites local websites will emerge and we will be able to flourish the IT industry of Pakistan.

hey monkey head.. if we ban all international websites there will be no internet for us right? so we should disconnect our cables and make a massive and exclusive pakistani LAN network where loosers like you can play doom multiplayer with other pakistani’s. got mind?
Roger… Thanks :-)
I hope it won’t last long
WTF! Why dont they ban the whole internet then
Its accessible.
They havn’t put it down.
Twitter.com is working. It was a glitch like what happened to google.com yesterday.
Honestly speaking apart from the cartoons i see other political motives behind banning of facebook and twitter (if banned) by pakistani govt.
Please don’t panic. Twitter.com is working
Hey, there was this international blog readwriteweb.com which i was going through and was surprised to find out that those people are themselves just fedup of that stupid fb!
It said that-If you’re jumping on the quitting-Facebook bandwagon, then have we got a website for you: QuitFacebookDay.com.
The site asks that, “if you agree that Facebook doesn’t respect you, your personal data or the future of the Web” then you may want to join in quitting Facebook on May 31, the date it has declared as the official “Quit Facebook Day”.
Yayyy…
Cheers!
Interesting. So maybe facebook is a FAD?
oh Twitter is still working my dear…..

@admin
i think i am following your comment policy then why are u deleting my comments??
Unfortunately, its ProPakistani that decides the definition of appropriate and in-appropriate comment.
But we assure you that we are doing our best to bring the voice of community. Thousands of readers will second this.
You were posting proxy websites, thus encouraging the users to violate the ban that is endorsed by the court, GoP and people of Pakistan.
okay i won’t post it again
Thanks : – )
Now they blocked Opera mini also someone please confirm it
yea, that’s correct
its working :S
Nope, its not :(
twitter is out for me on ptcl at the moment.
Nope, working fine here.
ISP:PTCL DSL
I don’t get this ban thing.. why they need to ban inappropriate websites, websites which don’t even cover news and focus on web apps like MakeUseOf.com i talked to the owner of this HUGE tech blog that what did they mention that pissed PTA and they told me ‘nothing’ at all like that in fact they are against Draw Day.. because founder and co-founders are all Muslim.
What i want to say is.. Personals working behind our sensitive institutes like PTA are either mentally retarded, irresponsible or illiterate people.
Who the hell blocked makeuseof.com, it always talk about software, technology etc…
What is wrong with this website?
how to contact PTA to unblock this website
WTF!!! twitter is not working here> Im in KHI

I seriously think we need something other than these crappy social networks to channelize our energies… We are people with heaps of time to waste..
i agree with ronan social networking takes too long and i dont care if they ban fb – just leave us a choice if we want to network on other site – i dont but know too many who do so let them, just not on fb.
What the hell is wrong with that MakeUseOf.com it is simple website that is all about software and technology. Why PTA banned this website????????
Why http://www.makeuseof.com is resitricted
