Twitter blocks ‘blasphemous’ tweets in Pakistan upon requests

The micro-blogging website, Twitter, has honoured five requests put forth by an official from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to block tweets that he regarded as blasphemous.

All five requests were made in the month of May by the PTA’s Abdul Batin who had asked Twitter to censor accounts, tweets or searches on the social network that he described as “blasphemous” or “unethical.”

Twitter honoured all requests which called for the blocking of content from drawings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), photographs of burning copies of the Holy Quran and messages from a handful of anti-Islam bloggers as well as an American porn star who now attends Duke University, the NYT report said.
