PTA Blocks Websites for Publishing Propaganda Against Malala Yousafzai

By Aamir Attaa | 19, Oct 2012 | 91 Comments

Malala Yousafzai 1200 PTA Blocks Websites for Publishing Propaganda Against Malala Yousafzai Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has issued a directive to internet service providers to block the access of at least 10 URLs in Pakistan that were allegedly involved in publishing propaganda material against Malala Yousafzai, we have confirmed with sources.

At least three ISPs confirmed ProPakistani about the blockade orders from PTA and have consequently blocked all the mentioned websites, mainly a blog called “American Everyman”, run by Scott Creighton.

Other URLs, that were blocked, are forums that had re-published the stories appearing on “American Everyman”.

“American Everyman” (http://willyloman.wordpress.com/) has various blog entries about Malala Yousafzai, the 14-year girl who was shot in the head by a Talibaan operative for preaching education for girls in Swat.

Scott Creighton, in his blogs, tries to raise questions that lead to suspicion that America has alleged role in attack on Malala for achieving various goals, mainly related to war against terrorism. Scott terms the attack on Malala as a staged incident.

PTA Spokesperson didn’t confirm ProPakistani of the government’s directive for blocking website or the reasons for the blockage and said that she isn’t aware of any such thing. She, however, promised to revert back as soon as she gets hold of anything on this.

Update: (6:05 PM)

A PTA spokesperson called in to clarify that regulator is just following orders issued by Ministry of Information Technology, which keeps on sending such directives (of blocking websites) to PTA for implementation on almost daily basis.

PTA said that reasons for the blockade of up-mentioned websites are better known to Ministry of Information Technology and PTA is just implementing orders issued by the Ministry.

  Malala Case is Pure Drama by Government of Pakistan & America

  I have HTTPSEverywhere installed in Chrome which forces https where possible and the PTA doesn’t have enough guts to block SSL traffic yet (It would need IP-level blocking I think?) so I can still access the site fine :P and of course all other blocked sites which support SSL – YouTube etc. – more people need to know this.
  - Umair
    
    By using HTTPS youtube does get open but it doesnt play the videos
    - Salman Abbas
      
      It works most the time for me but yeah it does have problems playing videos from time to time.

THE TRUTH

But you can still open this blog with simple trick.
HolierThanThough

Neither before, not now should there be any blockage or censorship.

The American Everyman site seems to be run by a psychopath. Taliban accepted this brutal and barbaric act and even the strongest supporters of Taliban who had connections with them and sympathized with them have condemned this act strongly.

Social media is a mess at the moment where the supporters of these terrorists make fake pictures and fake comments to confuse the nation.
- http://ptetech.blogspot.com/ Mahfooz Ahmad
  
  Agreed with you
  - MMMTheHacker
    
    And how do you know that they are Taliban??
    - http://ptetech.blogspot.com/ Mahfooz Ahmad
      
      who are they?
      - MMMTheHacker
        
        lols. Every Pakistani except you knows that who actually are they.They are AMERICANS.
- ahhh. Some research please
  
  That’s the thing my man. Every point of view against OFFICIAL POW is always from psychopaths, religious extremists, Taliban, Al Qaeda etc etc. But our governments, they are such nice little angels. Aren’t they? Wake Up. False Flag operations are well documented by some sane people of US and western World.
  
  Who are Taliban? Have you ever met them? How many of us have gotten first hand data/info about them?
  
  There are dozens of Malalas and brothers of Malala dyeing everyday in different parts of Pakistan. I’ve NEVER seen this kind of media coverage for them. Give me a good reason her life is more important than the little kid who lived in her neighborhood(Wazirstan and Karachi) who got killed by a drone or by some terrorist. Why they are nothing to all of us and ONE girl is everything? (What happened to her should not happen to anyone innocent. It’s was a brutal act by some terrorist. I don’t know which terrorist.)

  lol Who told u that Taliban Accepted Responsibility ? Geo News nd other mainstream Pakistani Channels ?? lol they are real Psychopaths nd not as credible as American Every month .

    the same pciture (on the left) is also posted on express tribune blog in Adam B Ellik’s article, so it is definitely real.

    Definitely true… Journalist would have been killed by Taliban to cover the story. This image was posted by the Journalist Himself.
    
    Please search NYtimes. Wait let me grab the link for you.

  i do believe whatever you are saying to support the argument but the pasted image is fabricated
  - taimur
    
    doesn’t seem fabricated to me, the scene has been captured from different angles. besides its quite likely that they had a meeting since Malala was their mouthpiece.
    - Irtza Shahan
      
      this picture is taken from a documentary published in new York tyms so can’t b fabricated :D

      Imae is absolutely real and is taken from A DOCUMENTARY… not just any video that is underground. I saw this documentary three years ago when in Karachi the school my kids go to showed it to the kids to infrom them about the importance of education and how valuable its is.
      
      The video is available for anyone to see, Please search Malala NYTimes video. Malala raised her voice against Taliban, The Government and as seen in the video… against American convoy. Sadly the Talibans tried to assassinate for her courage.
Usman

Thanks for posting this Aamir. All of us know in our hearts that this is a paid media propoganda.

Our Govt is involved in this whole game and wanted to start the operation and earn $$$$. But PTA is also thirsty for $$$$$.

  Really? Good then. You can stop killing your own people over some cheapo idiotic movie.

    So we can kill our own people over some “Brilliant” directed movie?
    What’s the use of word ‘cheapo idiotic movie’ here?

      To tumhein kia mirchi lag rahi hai?

        LOL! agar wo so called movie kisi ache director ne direct ki hoti to phr kia jaiz ho jaata apnay logoun ko maarna? simple question hai aur mirchi to tumhain lag gae hai shayad.
        
        Salman Abbas
        
        lol obviously not justified in that case too. Cheap ko cheap nai to aur kia kahun.. pata nai tum itna personally kion le rahey hai lagta hai tumhare mamu nai banai hai wo movie. Kisi famous director ne ki hoti to at least koi jawaz hota itna uchalnay aur “WEST” pe itni tanqeed karne ka.

Very good decision by PTA also kick taliban out of pakiatan and operation in waziristan is must needed.
- HolierThanThough
  
  Operation will disperse these terrorists in every city of Pakistan. Then even our homes, masjids and schools will not be safe.
  
  Negotiate, educate and negotiate. Even if it takes the lives of thousands of those that are looking for peace. We cannot stoop as low as these people. Operation with those that are completely brainwashed and beyond therapy.

- HolierThanThough
  
  There are 415 recorded incidents of terrorism before the drone attacks. There were 20,000 trained terrorists that were planning to take over Pakistan and impose there version of Shariah Law. This is all before the drone attacks.
  
  There is absolutely no justification of Drone attacks. We need to fight against terrorism and get rid of the arms and ammunitions in this area once and for all. We should ask these so called Talibans to give up their weapons and start a negotiating process. If they dont negotiate then every person in this land should support an all out offensive.
  - ahhh. Some research please
    
    It’s tribal tradition to have weapons. Just like there is STRONG weapon culture in the US. We should really find out who are these terrorist? Who is sponsoring them. Considering US history. It’s probably them. They did support Taliban when they were good use to them.
  - Irtza Shahan
    
    there were before drones . but there were no terrorists or Pakistani Taliban before Pakistani Army went to tribal areas on US demands for operation against our own ppl !

it’s big drama of govt
http://www.9to5Phone.com/ Hamza Tariq

PTA shows how those allegations was true against the Government. We can’t stick with one side, because both side provides manipulated data from their desks.

Well, I was waiting for this to happen. Since the PTA raises the drama of URL Blocking system in the Pakistan, I was waiting when I will read such report from anyone on the internet.

Now support to censor Pakistani Internet!

ProPakistani, you are getting blocked next :D

Well, I read the cached pages of that blog entries. I didn’t find anything which was offensive. There is something wrong for sure…

  Suppose you are a thief and somehow I find out that you are a thief and I try to tell this to everyone, won’t you try to shut me up??
  - Muhammad Haris
    
    Haha, exactly! I’ll try for sure…
MMMTheHacker

By doing this they proved that it was a drama.There are no Talibans in Pakistan.They are Americans.The Talibans are only in Afghanistan and they are good people (Jihadis) and I love them.

      Where is the evidence against Aafia? Or should we believe the story that a lady took a gun from three Marines and then tried to shoot them but yet marines were quick enuf to shoot her back without leaving any traces in the room? Liars! Proof! I hope you will also ask us for proof that drones are not sent by Amkerica! I am glad Talibans don’t have drones else you could have blamed them for it as well

GEO (Jew) have not shown the story of “American Every-man” and I don`nt they are going to show this or even discuss it and obviouslly if Jew don`t then how can other channels show or even discuss this …….Hamid Mir and Kamran khan keep shouting malala……malala….malala…..malala…………Rehman malik says TTP have taken responsibility(every one knows the credibility Rehman sahab,very good example given by Z. Mirza) …….Thumbs up!! for American Everyman and pat on the back of ProPk……..One question still remains unanswered …..malala getting coverage 22hrs a day …”WHO IS GOING 2 COVER PEOPLE GET SEVERELY INJURED & EVEN GO TO DEATH bcoz of DRONE ATTACKS “.
M Junaid Khan

Shameful act by Government of Pakistan. It seems there is a well coordinated campaign to make her a heroine when we have thousand other Malala in the country.
