The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has been ordered to officially reopen access to Youtube for Pakistani internet users, sources said on Monday, over three and a half years after the world’s most popular video streaming website was initially blocked in the country.
The development comes days after the PTA told the Supreme Court in a report that it was now possible to remove objectionable videos from the website after Google launched a localized of Youtube for Pakistan.
PTA had told the court that objectionable content had been removed from the localised version of the website and that it there was no reason left to continue blocking the website’s IP in the country.
