While in the United States we have the freedom to have access to everything on the Internet, in Pakistan, they are not so lucky. In Pakistan, the government blocked the use of twitter for their citizens.
In Pakistan, the government blocked the usage of twitter. They did this because the ministry did not like that twitter would not, not post certain topics. According to the Ministry of Information Technology, "twitter was blocked because it failed to respond and take action regarding the publishing of blasphemous content." While the Pakistani government may not want their citizens being exposed to certain things, this is a bit extreme.
However, this blockage of twitter only lasted for about 12 hours, according to Michael Kugelman of the Huffington Post. Even though twitter was banned, Kugelman says, "Ironically, most of this outrage was expressed on Twitter itself. Users in Pakistan promptly discovered alternate means of accessing the micro-blogging site, created the hashtag #TwitterBan, and angrily tweeted away." So, this means that Pakistan citizens still found a way to tweet using a third party.
The Pakistani government should not just be able to block a website out of spite. How is the Pakistani government being fair to their citizens? This is not something that the government should be able to take away and change on a whim.
