PTA to block more controversial websites
The authority had asked Wikipedia to register in Pakistan.
Lahore: Lahore High Court (LHC) Monday allowed Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to block more controversial websites after Wikipedia.
A hearing was held on a miscellaneous petition filed in the LHC to implement the court order related to the distortion in the translation of the Holy Quran.
During the hearing, the lawyer of PTA took the stand that Wikipedia had been asked to register in Pakistan, however, it currently had been banned.
The court allowed the authority to block more controversial websites and sought reports from the federal government and others on February 16.
It is pertinent to note that PTA had blocked the encyclopedia website 'Wikipedia' in Pakistan on February 4 for not removing offensive content.
