Quelques mois après que la vidéo anti-islamique ait été postée sur YouTube et même après les manifestations des Musulmans dans le monde entier, YouTube n’a pas enlevé les vidéos. Les musulmans ont fait des requêtes spéciales comme leurs sentiments étaient sérieusement blessés. Bien que la vidéo “l’innocence des Musulmans” ait contrevenu aux conditions générales de YouTube, il n’a tout de même pas été enlevé pour quelques raisons. Donc, l’Autorité de Télécommunication du Pakistan (PTA) est entrée en action et a bloqué YouTube au Pakistan. L’accès était complètement bloqué au Pakistan et le message “Ce site est limité par votre prestataire de services” a été affiché.

Bien que les gens ont apprécié cette mesure prise par le gouvernement, il a été découvert qu’il y avait des personnes qui utilisent des techniques de blackhat pour avoir l’accès. La méthode la plus commune était l’utilisation d’une protection Firewall. A part cela, certains utilisent des proxy pour avoir accès à Youtube depuis le Pakistan. Quoique ce soit un pas positif pris par le gouvernement, il avait créé des problèmes pour les gens qui ont eu l’habitude d’avoir accès à YouTube pour un certain but constructif en dehors du divertissement.

Il y a eu plusieurs rumeurs sur la disponibilité de Youtube au Pakistan. Il a été constaté que certaines personnes ont toujours accès à Youtube en utilisant la connexion internet de compagnies privées bien que la PTA ait ordonné à tous les fournisseurs d’accès de bloquer complètement Youtube. Ainsi, selon les ordres de la PTA, même les compagnies privées ont bloqué l’accès à Youtube.

Cependant, quelques personnes ont prétendu qu’YouTube sera de retour le 1 décembre 2012. Donc, les gens attendaient avec inquiétude pour le 1 décembre 2012 quand ils pourraient finalement goûter à YouTube de nouveau. Néanmoins, l’Autorité de Télécommunication du Pakistan a répondu en disant que ceux-ci sont juste des rumeurs et ne sont pas fondés. En réalité ils ont raison sur ceci car les autorités de YouTube n’ont pas encore rempli les exigences du Pakistan.

Selon les officiels, le site de partage de vidéo le plus célèbre au monde a manqué de remplir les exigences et les demandes du gouvernement du Pakistan. Ils n’ont toujours pas enlevé le contenu diffamatoire du site Web qui est la cause principale du problème. La vidéo publiée sur YouTube choque les sentiments du peuple du Pakistan, alors là ils ne permettront pas à YouTube de continuer ses services.

Même le Ministère de Télécommunication a dit que YouTube n’a pas encore été débloqué et ils n’en ont pas l’intention jusque là et à moins que Youtube ne satisfasse les demandes du gouvernement du Pakistan. Cependant, le mois de novembre YouTube est devenu accessible aux trois premiers opérateurs mobiles du Pakistan. Ceci est toujours prise en considération et il y a des chances que le gouvernement pourrait même bloquer l’accès pour ces opérateurs mobiles aussi. Nous devons juste attendre et observer.

Ceci est une bonne étape prise par le gouvernement. Beaucoup ont dû prendre leurs positions et cette fois c’est au tour du gouvernement du Pakistan. Étant un Pakistanais je suis fier que finalement mon gouvernement a pris des mesures pour une certaine bonne cause. Suivez-moi, j’apporterai quelques nouvelles nouvelles intéressantes quant à YouTube.

A few months back when anti-Islamic video was posted on YouTube and even after the protests from the Muslims of all over the world, YouTube did not remove the videos. Muslims made special requests as their feelings were badly hurt. Though the video “The innocence of Muslims” breached the terms and conditions of YouTube but still it was not removed for some reasons. Therefore, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) came into action and blocked the YouTube in Pakistan. The access was completely blocked in Pakistan and the message “This site is restricted by your service provider” was displayed.

Though people appreciated the step taken by the government but still there were people who used black hat techniques to gain the access. The most common method was the use of a Hot Spot shield. Apart from this some used proxy to access YouTube here in Pakistan. Though it was a good positive step taken by the government but it had created problems for the people who used to access YouTube for some constructive purpose apart from entertainment.

There were various rumors regarding the availability of the YouTube in Pakistan. It was found that some people had an access to YouTube using the Internet connection of private companies therefore PTA ordered every Internet providing companies to block YouTube completely. Hence, following the orders of PTA even the private companies blocked an access to YouTube.

However, some people claimed that YouTube will be back on December 1, 2012. Therefore, people were anxiously waiting for December 1, 2012 when they could finally taste the YouTube once again. Nonetheless, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority replied back saying that these are just rumors and hold no ground. Actually they are right on this as the authorities of the YouTube have not met the requirements of Pakistan yet.

According to the official, the world’s most famous video sharing website has failed to meet the requirements and demands of the government of Pakistan. They have still not removed the inappropriate content from the website which is the main cause of the issue. The video published on the YouTube is hurting the feelings of the people Pakistan hence they won’t allow YouTube to continue its services.

Even the Telecommunication Ministry has said that the YouTube has not unblocked yet and they do not have any plans until and unless they meet the demands of the Pakistan government. However, in the month of November YouTube became accessible to the three top mobile operators of Pakistan. This is still in consideration and there are chances that the government might even block the access for those mobile operators as well. We just have to wait and watch.

In the nutshell, it is a good step taken by the government. Some had to take the stand and this time it is the government of Pakistan. Being a Pakistani I am proud to that finally my government has taken a step for some good cause. Stick with me and I shall bring some new interesting news regarding YouTube.

Up to 3,500 people have protested outside the headquarters of Google in central London over an anti-Islam film. Buckingham Palace Road in Victoria was closed for three hours by the demonstration.

The protesters called for the trailer for the US-made film, Innocence of Muslims, to be removed from YouTube, which is owned by Google. Google has said the video is "clearly within our guidelines and so will stay on YouTube".

The trailer for the film has provoked anger for its portrayal of the Prophet Muhammad. YouTube has blocked access to the video in some countries such as Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and India.

Khalid Mahmood, of campaign group Voyce, said it was the first demonstration against Google in the UK and other action would follow. He said: "This is a demonstration against hate speech on the internet and YouTube in particular."

A YouTube spokesman said: "We work hard to create a community everyone can enjoy and which also enables people to express different opinions. This can be a challenge because what's OK in one country can be offensive elsewhere."

BBC News, 14 October 2012

It is simply untrue that the video is within YouTube's guidelines, which state clearly that "we do not permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status and sexual orientation/gender identity)".

Google's justification for refusing to remove the video is that it attacks Islam the faith rather than Muslims as people. How can a film called "The Innocence of Muslims" not be about Muslims? The clue is in the title.

You can only conclude that the real reason for Google's refusal to remove the video is that they share the widepread view that hate speech which is directed against Muslims doesn't count as hate speech.

Pakistan telecommunication authority says that YouTube will not be unblocked in Pakistan anytime soon. The officials claimed that they will never unblock YouTube unless Google doesn’t take off the anti-Islamic video.

The wretch episode begun to happen when film named “innocence of Muslims” was put on YouTube. The video said to have circulated heavenly after the Muslim protests were geared up against it. Every Muslim country stood up against it and storm the filmmakers. The filmmakers are the Americans who made a low class film based on their own assumptions and false speculations. The film mocked out Prophet (peace and blessings upon Him) and portrayed all the wrong things. This act hurt the Muslim sentiments who stood up against the film around the work.

In Pakistan “In Lahore, Hafiz Saeed, head of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa charity, conducted a rally with 500 followers against the making of the movie which portrayed our beloved Prophet (peace and blessings upon him)

Hafiz Saeed has 500$ million of bounty on him, he claimed in his rally “We condemn this conspiracy of producing (an) anti-Islam film. Such blasphemous acts are intentional conspiracies from the US and we will not tolerate it,” he told the rally.

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) organised a rally in Karachi, where around 700 party activists and supporters gathered with banners and placards bearing anti-US and anti-Israel slogans.

“Hang the filmmaker…hang the apostate,” they chanted. “Jihad is the only treatment to cure American cancer,” another slogan said.

In Islamabad, capital, 400 protested conducted rally in front of a Mosque this Friday, they demanded Terry jones whose name has been linked with the filming of this non-sense

“Terry Jones should be handed to us for a trial in the sharia court,” a speaker at the rally told the gathering. Sharia courts try defendants according to Islamic law.”

Government of Pakistan requested Google to pull down the anti-Islam film if not internationally at least in Pakistan. But Google didn’t agree to bring it down which resulted as a blockage of YouTube in Pakistan. Even today after three long weeks the video is still being shown on YouTube.

“Responding to a question regarding whether MLAT (Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty) – an agreement between two countries for gathering, exchanging and enforcing public and criminal laws – was an obstacle in the issue because Pakistan had not signed MLAT with USA, the PTA officials explained that USA does not have MLAT with either Libya, Indonesia or Singapore too, but Google had blocked the video due to US government pressure or on-ground offices in those states.

PTA officials added that countries, where Google has its physical presence or has infrastructure (datacenters) in place, were in a better position to get the video blocked.

“Unlike Google, Facebook had removed the blasphemous content from its website for users in Pakistan and was hence unblocked after two weeks in 2010. Google, however, has decided otherwise and this is why it will remain blocked until it acts,” the official said.”

For some time the YouTube remains blocked in Pakistan due to the anti-Islam film.
