PTA has filed a petition requesting formal removal of ban on YouTube

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) on Saturday filed a petition in Supreme Court to unban YouTube, Dunya News reported.

According to details, PTA has filed a petition requesting formal removal of ban on YouTube maintaining the ban in Pakistan is not necessary after the launch of the localised version.

The PTA has submitted that it had put a nationwide ban on YouTube in light of the apex court’s order. It said YouTube has launched a localised version in Pakistan which does not carry content offensive to Muslims.

The petition further claimed that the YouTube administration would remove the blasphemous content on the localised version if ever uploaded again.

The petition says the ban on the world’s largest community powered video site is not necessary after the launch of the localised version.
