Now Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has directed all Internet service providers (ISPs) to prevent Internet users from accessing technology that would allow privately to surf the Internet.
PTA spokesman said that the directive was intended only to stop the militants of using a secure connection to the Internet to communicate with each other, but acknowledged that this could only be done by blocking all Internet users in Pakistan, using Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Express tells the Tribune. VPN allows two or more users can share information without giving anyone to follow him.
At the same time, the PTA has become increasingly aggressive to prevent Web sites in the country. The entire site of Rolling Stone magazine, pop culture and politics, has been blocked since July.
PTA spokesman confirmed that the site is blocked, but said he did not know why it was done. Islamabad-based source for the ISP said it had been issued warning to avoid a post on the blog of a writer, Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone website, adding that, however, service providers are not able to block sites URL of course, and is blocking the entire domain.
This mission was called "the Pakistan military spending crowds up there in America," which lent a column written by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times that criticized the Pakistani army on the huge budget, which was used only for protection against 'India, and not to fight the militants.
