Today Rehman Malik, minister interior, announced on his twitter that federal cabinet has approved his proposal for unblocking Facebook and Youtube while banning access to only blasphemous URLs.
After Facebook’s decision for not banning blasphemous page, around 300,000 out of 2.3 million users in Pakistan have deleted their accounts.
These stats were first mentioned by Adnan Ali, and later confirmed by various advertising agencies who are given number of users in the country for their ad campaigns.
It merits mentioning here that internet users can’t access Facebook after it was banned in the country.
Update: We have received confirmation from Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom that they have asked PTA to get Youtube unblocked in Pakistan except those URLs that contain blasphemous videos. Youtube will become available to masses in few days if not hours.
Ban from facebook will be lifted on May 31st, 2010 as per court orders.
Update: (9:41 PM) Youtube is available on various ISPs as of now.
yeh PPP waale, kisi angle se ISLAM aur ALLAH ke chaahne waale nahiin lagte
You may Hate PPP, but how’s this related ? He wants the Un Islamic content banned rest open!
yar post puri parta ha nai koi or comment dene beth jata ha
Yes its true…this Govt. destroying Pakistan ideology…. You know a Cold war has been started in Pakistan with full plainnig…you will c very soon the blood shedws and killing in the streets…in tthe name of religion, and for you information the major extremest are reside in Islamabad, n the capital is the base of sectisism….and target to destroy Pakistan Plan 2012… involve many agencies, even our media involve and stupid Pakistan people not understanding worried only from “Facebook”…. Request: for stoping u just need to cold down…and tell your friends dat plz before going into any religious metter shia or sunni or etc… plz counsult only Quran (with back ground reference n tafseer but valid and various written tafseers conclusion) plz don’t make your decesion from a single verse and make the fatwa…especially for shias, don’t make Islam a dirt. and fuck to those who use to make religion as a tool to tess other people…
Well it may only entice public rage. They should have waited for at least 31st may. People who are so eager to lift the ban would not die in 2 days. But if they have taken a decision then they should honor it at least for the limit they have stated earlier. But then again its PPPP govt. and they are known to change their dates/plans/statements all the time.

This is a perfect decision by Rehman Malik.
only block particular URLs if you want to
I think these people have gone insane. They are instructed by America to do all this stuff. Such a shame . Jamhooriat Murdabaad
I think now the only option left is to hack the main servers of Facebook and to destroy these servers so that Facebook could never be restored. We Pakistani’s can do this but we need to be united first.
yes… yes.. yesssss… i m happy a lot… love u rehman malik…..a very perfect decision… Thank you soo much…
this is stupid …
i mean what the *#@# ,,,, fb will not fell their fault …. . .
youtube still blocked on wateen.
Salman taseer says:
“FB is an operating system, closing it for blasphemous site is like closing PTCL for an obscene call”
LOL he is quoting “Facebook” as an Operating System.
Lol trying to be Over clever :D
Well in my Opinion FACEBOOK should be BANNED permanetly unless CEO does not Accept this as Violation of their Policies and asure to ban all such pages in future.
Facebook STAFF is real SHAME for the People who call themselves Rightful. They are bunch of BIASED LIARS. Facebook should be CURSED and Punished to maximum extant.
Mark CEO of FB is a A*****e ________

No it’s not true. It is banned till 31 May, after which they will take a decision.
main nay 1st day he kaha tha k pahlay log fB kay ban honay per welcome kahay gay aur aur k baad yah sub log sayb say pahlay fb ko use karain gay jub yah unban ho ga wasay be jub facebook walon nay aur jis nay yah kamni harkat ki thi as nay sorry kar leya ha aur wo sub mawad hata be diya ha tu kahay kp FB ko 4ever ban rekha jaay agar dejha jay tu internet per ase bahut se website han jahan per Allah maf karay ase tara kay mowad paray han agar asa ha tu sub say pahlay internet he use karna chor don wasay tu pahlay be aase harkat ho chuktu ha jub natway nay aasa he keya tha tu log telenor ko bura bahla kahtay han per aabbe log telenor ko use kar rahain han main manta ha k yah harkat bahut buri thi aasa nahe hona cahay tha per jub aik cheaz page say khatam kar di ha tu 4ever ban ka sawal he anhe pada howa
tum log itna bol rahe ho…Jab ban lift hogaye ga tab facebook mat use karna ? itni hero giri dikhane ka kya matlab hai???
It’s simple…use karna hai tou karo..Jis ko Islam se pyar hai woh nahi kare ?? Why u ppl r forcing them to ban fb ??
Totally agreed with avinash
@ Avinash.. i agree with you 101% pal…
first of all, if they all are happy tht FB has been banned and they think this is the solution then they cud ev done it them selves by not visiting the page !!
Asthe page still exist it jus that Pakistaniz cant see it, not visitng the page wud ev beenthe same. ARNT THEY ALL MUSLIM EOUGH TO REFRAIN FROM VSIITNG SUCH PAGES AND NEED AN ENFORCED GOVT.BAN TO STAY AWAY FROM IT??
WOW WOT TRUE ISLAM LOVERS !!
I AWAIT THE DAY THESE SAME GUYS WOULD STAND FOR A BAN ON PORN WEBSITES IN PAKISTAN WHICH ARE ABUNDENTLY AVAILABLE ON PAKISATANI INTERNET.
Yeah i’m totally agree with u. facebook ko permanently block krna chaiye aur hum pakistanio ko facebook se b ziada achi site bnani chaiye jo sirf Muslims k hi lye ho….
we dont need facebook … our pakistani students are working on making alternative social sites with all the features of facebook, so why promote any website that doesn’t respect our religious values
I agree my bro have already launched one :P lool
Better to delete account.. Y don’t we restrict ourselves from logging in to facebook? Y we are asking government to ban facebook? Our hatred towards facebook will only be shown when facebook is open to all and still we don’t login or create accounts on it.
I’ve already deleted my account!
I 2nd your opinion, very well said. Thats exactly wot i feel too, y to stay dependent on the govt. to ban it for us, y cant v b sensible enough to not to visit the page even when its’ still open, this wud ev been the real victory over falsehood and wud ev surely discouraged the page creator.
Block this double faced facebook forever … as mentioned by Saira, we ve got good brains to produce similar sort of product for local usage keeping our values intact.
Lets hope facebook gets restored soon because I want to create a page named:
“Lets everybody draw Zardari, Salman Taseer & Interior Malik everyday…” :-D
Btw we all know sallu bhai. If decision was left to him, he would rather block all those people who are against facebook… :D
Tweet this post sallu bhai ;-)

its not lyk we r gonna die if we won’t use facebook. Get over with the fkin addiction losers
Umair Ansari main nay be yah he kaha tha k yahan per her ko bhar char kay bolta ha k hum aasa kar dan gaay wasa kar daon gay fact wo he ha jo main nay aur tum nay bola ha
My one and only questions to all supportingblanke facebook ban:
WILL YOU ALL STOP WATCHING TV OR THROW YOUR TV SETS OUTSIDE UR HOUSE IF ONE CHANNEL SCREENS SUCH PROGRAMME?
IF YES, THEN PLEASE THROW THEM AS MANY FORGIEN NEWS CHANNELS HAVE ALREADY DONE SO.
IF NO, THEN LET IT BE THE SINGLE URL BAN AND NOT THE WHOLE WEBSITE.
GET A LYFE ALL YOU !!
@wajahat
Your response above is like comparing apples and oranges.
Facebook = Television Channel = Medium
Internet = Television = Technology
If a channel broadcast such program, we shall ban that TV channel and not the television. We have done same in case of facebook. We have blocked facebook and not the internet itself.
In your theory if a TV channel starts abusing our religion during some specific program, we shall ban that program and not the whole channel. Thats stupid. Why would you say something like that… :-D
Thank you very much for makingmy job easier…
so when are now organizing a protest rally against BBC, CNN and many more? :D
@Umair Ansari… rightly said brov… making it simple, ppl in Pakistan only tend to do things in favour of islam which does not harm thier daily activites and interest… I am more then sure that the majority of the ppl who deleted thier facebook accounts either did not use it at all or rarely. One who were really in to it which is the heavy majority are eagerly waitin for it to re-open.
Why would any of them stop using Telenor sim as it gives the best rates to talk to girlfirends and boyfriends all night long. yet they all claim to be true lovers of Islam lol.. its sad and shameful !!
lolz.. again apples and oranges dude…
If somebody do something in Norway then why would you punish Telenor for same.
You see everything is subset of something else. If you are punishing Telenor because someone from Norway did something wrong then you should also punish whole Europe and then ultimately whole world since that “Someone” was from this planet.
Straight math would be to boycott that specific medium which was used. Bycott that news paper. In extreme cases you might discuss the same with their goverment. Why would you punish Telenor for something they can’t control… :-D
Only if you wish to call it apples with oranges my friend.
I unlike, majority of the apprant litralppl who r chantin for the facebook ban have gone thrugh lots of baist and unbiast material before coming to a conclusion. Who ever the person who made tht page has very carefully abide all the terms and conditions of Facebook :) as per facebook’s term of not to spread haterd messages against religion he has not said anything against ISLAM but aganst EXTREMISTS who, now, majority of the Pakistaniz condemn too. Making cartoons is a common practice in thier culture and its not taken as abusive. So, he has very celverly made his point with-out violating facebook’s terms of use.
So, we can now say that facebook can not delete it as it does not violate its terms and ofcourse he is not from Pakistan where ppl dont have rights, so he can always go t court and sue faebook for deleting his page even when it did not violate the terms of use. So FACEBOOK BECOMES HELPLESS TOO…
But u all still wish to ban it, to hurt it financialy, right?
THENY NOT HURT NORWAY ECONOMICALLY WHEN EVEN THE NORWAY GOVT. SUPPORTED THE CAUSE OF MAKING THOES CARTOONS?? HELP OTHER TO SHUT DOWN THIER BSUINESSES IN PAKISAN, THEY MAKE MONEY FROM YOU GUSY AND SEND IT BACK TO NORWAY TO GROW THIER COUNTRY/GOVT STRONG.. COMMON SENSE MATE !!
GROW UP NOW, its just that you guys can never sacrifice your interetst in the name of Islam you guy r so fake !!
And like as you said your self that y to harm telenor when something has happened in Norway blah blah… mate even this page was made in Sweden, the guy is swedish, he did not ask muslims to come visit the page, he did not advertised it.
then y to harm facebook for that? y cant u be brainy enuff not to just visit the page as you do not have control on it. It is thier product, they didnt ask you to use it !!
Normally Facebk removes a group or page after few complains against it and if it goes against there terms of services ..!!
But in this case there came 100,000 complains agnst the group “Draw Muhammad Day” and the group also go against many points in their T.O.S like hateful for a community etc ….
But still thy didnt removed that page , , and when people tried to counter the nonmuslims by making a group against jews believes , ,it was removed in 20mins …!!
Still now that page is available and to support it many more groups have been created against our blessed Prophet ..!!
[These are pure facts , ,do u get it,why fb shld banned ??]
As said in my original post if you ev bothered to read it carefully that, THE PAGE DID NOT VIOLATE THIER TERMS OF USE !!
why do you expect them to delete it then??
and thank you to 2nd my initial opinion that this protest will only result in many other people doing the same or may be even worse to defame our beloved Prophet (pbuh) and so has been the case so far.
They love to take the mickey out of us and we always most humbley let them.
Please forgod sake all Muslims especially Pakistanis, do not encourage such an aweful act by advertising and promoting it aggressively in the name of BOYCOTT asdoing so you are actually making more and more people come to know about such an act ultimatley resulting in millions ppl supporting it and even encouraged to do more.
THINK WISE !!
Throwing stone in a mud puddle would only make YOU dirty.
Who the hell are you to say that u r rite …?? BAKA ..!!
Facebook should be banned forever because :
1)FB SUPPORTS the jews n bad christans who are making fun of our BLESSED Prophet ..!!
2) Youth wastes their time by siiting on it doing timewasting and useless thingzzz like playing mafia wars and other thingzzz …!!
3)U want no action to be taken against these eveil acts ?? On the authority of Abu Sa`id (radhiallahu `anhu) that the Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam said, “Whoever sees something evil should change it with his hand. If he cannot, then with his tongue; and if he cannot do even that, then in his heart. That is the weakest degree of faith.”
4)Fb is trying to increase worry in the all ready worried muslims ..!! They r just trying to pollue young naive brains ..!! U dnt have to search or anthing but u will stumble upon the sketches , cause they are spreaded so much … and its just a matter of time when FB would start advertising it ..!!
5)u aint a muslim right ?? cause u r trying to help facebk which is supporting those who are making fun of our Holy Prophet(P.B.U.H) …!!
And there are many ways for people to interact with each other ..!! What the hell is the use of emailzz and progrmz like skype and sites like photoshack rapidshare etc ..??
6) Ban the FB so that people uses(like done in china)Local sites ..!! in this way local sites sprang up and economy betters ..!! its people like u who uses products of pepsi.c , if u use local resources then our country would prosper and the internatinal image too ..!!
On a SERIOUS note, HELL with facebook and its makers!
But PLEASE spread the word about Atta Abad Lake, Hunza Valley. ONLY 8FT left and over 250KM of area will be DROWNED!
The goverment isnt giving relief because they WANT this disaster to happen, so they collect relief funds in BILLIONS from other countries to fill their pockets. The whole nation has been plotted to divert attention towards facebook issue so that noone will RALLY in the FAVOUR of HUNZA PEOPLE!!!
WAKE UP PAKISTAN!
Dont be stpid my friend.. these torch bearers of Islam here have more rallys to attend and chant abotu than helping thier countrymen in diffcult times :)
Tu phir faida kiya hua…..ban karnay ka..???…iss say acha tha k Ban hi na kartay…..We hate PPP government……..Facebook/Youtube have dual policy….Their aim is to irritate 1 Muslim for 1 US dollor…….so they will not stop….they will keep it up more and more……so we must Boycott Facebook permanent…
We must have our own Social Community Place in Pakistan..and here is ..named….www.WeLinked.com…..
Thank you! sooo much! Rehman Malik! atleast someone has some sense in them!
This decision came because Abdul Rehman Malik himself uses social networking websites and the above mentioned twitter page of him proves it. Pervert..!!!!
Kadam bherhao zardari hum tumharay saath hain.. Educated people’s step of opening facebook and youtube..
Arrogant
“Facebook now hosts a page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Show-Mohammed-Day/121228857900451) promoting “Show Mohammed Day,”
A scheduled day of rallies June 3 “in celebration of freedom of speech and religion, honoring the spirit of the First Amendment.”
The organizer says the June 3 rallies are a direct response to the controversy surrounding “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.”

Well,
Facebook & Twitter are good ways to promote your blog,site with no cost. So there is a good chance that top management took this decision in the favour of IT Community of Pakistan.
But… All blasphemous contents should be filtered strictly.
Happy Surfing!
Facebook On nahi karen… Please Yeh Musalmano ki Bohat Badi BeIzzati hogi.. Agar hum ne facebook On kar di to… So please don’t Open this site… Please Please Please
dear friends remember facebook programming language is “JQuire” So it’s hard to ban single URL.if u want to ban some URL you must ban full site
:-)
first of all the people who are asking and appealing to ban facebook and youtube etc would be the main users by them selfs… seriously,, so plzzz stop pulling other legs and have believe in yourselfs… no matter if these sites are open or not… everything is in our hands… so stop urging anyone to do anything…get a life
[quote]first of all the people who are asking and appealing to ban facebook and youtube etc would be the main users by them selfs[/quote]
and you know that HOW?
Stop being arrogant, if you want your precious facebook maybe its time for you to shift to a diffrent republic.
This is completely shameful and a disgusting decision!!
what the hell IS this damn idiot’s problem??? yeh manhus kyun itnnaaa maraa jaraha hai facebook pe se ban uthane ke liye???
doesnt this damn low level ____ has some faith or even if he doesnt have how can he hurt millions of people who are against facebook!!!
this is completely fake and disrespectful!
these ____ are themselves banning those faulty and shameful pages of facebook! but facebook wont feel a thing!
atlast they are successful!!! they wont feel a thing! they should take back the pages and delete themselves, rather than Pakistani dumb government dying to lift the ban so they can log on and ____!! rehman malik’s, an _____ representative of our government!
i believe we should not really die to start logging in facebook, and for once all youngsters of Pakistan should join hands to work against facebook and this idiot’s decision to lift the ban!!
this is very saddening!
[Comment Edited]
This is what happens in the so beloved DEMOCRACY, huh. Illetrate people select illetrate people without no knowladge whatsoever, the proof of what im saying is in front of ur PPP winning the third time in the country after being well know for there corruption.
I say Communisum or Imperialism is the way to the future and not stupid US democracy, its gravely flawed.
Everyone knows that the third chair at Facebook is headed by Department of Justice to flush out terrorists. Our Ministry of Interior also needs intel from Facebook. Mr. Rehman Malik is just doing his job and we should respect how Facebook is helping our law enforcement and army agencies/units. This is a fact that Al Qaeda and Talibans are quite active on Facebook. Thumbs up for Mr. Rehman’s decision!
PS: The contest never got started by the CEO of Facebook.
One of the most stupid argument I have heard till now, we need facebook so we can flush out terrorists, that just makes me laugh. The US nor Pakistan has been able to track any satalite comunications from the Taliban leaders, if they had they would have cought them already and that is a DIRECT communication unlike facebook.
Stop laming just say it you miss facebook and want it back.
PS: Nor did the CEO removed it on request of thousands of people, in opposite a HITLER page by one of our Pro friends was removed in two days.
As We all know that Facebook has hurt all of muslims so I dont think that any muslim will like to join it again. I would prefer to banned it permanently in Pakistan.
As our muslims brothers has made a faixbook.com a social network site to show the world that we muslims are genious.
Those who’re argee about baning the fb 4eva, these people are the one who uses the fb just for pasing time and stuff! When it comes back for those who says fb should be ban 4eva you guys should delete your account when it comes back!
I have some good friends around the world on fb..and it’s not that i’m against islam or something..i’m just trying to tell that, believe in yourselfs!
blocking the fb is not the answer, and some of fb users, use fb for cheering up and stuff..haha
I just think blocking the fb was not the wiseful idea, gov just gaves us a break..haha
FACEBOOK SHOULD NOT BE BANNED FOREVer, AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE AGAINST FB THEY SHOULD DELETE DERE ACCOUTNS. SIMPLE!
Facebook should not be banned!!!!i know i am being selfish,i also 2 feel bad about the group they made,but come on some of us r lying tht it should be banned!!!!!Facebook should be opened and if this group do tht again,then we have no choice but to ban it!!!!!
i think rehman malik has done the right thing
if there is one dirty or vulgar channel in ur televison u won’t stop to watch the tv right..same is with facebook. i think government has done the right thing..and blocking the whole site was big mistake if you have option of blocking that content …
