Ban on obscene websites: Internet users decline by 20% in Pakistan


Karachi: It is unfortunate but a harsh reality that indecent content on internet is much popular among internet users of different ages, as it was seen recent that internet users in Pakistan have declined by 15 to 20 percent following the government move to block porn websites.

The internet traffic and connections both were seen at gradual decline after a large number of websites containing indecent material were blocked by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), industry officials said.

Thousands of pornographic websites frequented by Pakistanis were blocked by internet service providers (ISP), following directives issued by the PTA. However it planned to block more than 150,000 websites at services providers-end.
