Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) put a ban on WordPress.com officially in Pakistan, WordPress.com is one of the most popular platform in the world. PTA is an organization which is responsible every content on internet in Pakistan.
Alot of bloggers in Pakistan are using this free service to express their opinions online and blog about their passion, work and lifestyle. Some bloggers are even making some good money of this service. This ban would not affect freedom of expression in Pakistan but will also deprive thousand of Bloggers who make their livelihood out of this website.
I would love to suggest Pakistani Government to contact website owners, and put that material down, and look again their service clearly. I urge Pakistani Government and specially PTA to take back this decision and unblock WordPress.com in Pakistan, as soon the TTP materials taken down.
