pmmsn | | Re: YouTube Banned (29th Feb 08 at 5:06am UTC) | | | So pretty much another story of a government censoring material from their popularion because they don't like what they see. Countries do this all the time when a site either goes against a politician, the government or their beliefs but usually not to such a large and well-known site. If it had been a small site it wouldn't have come to international attention, so I suppose really this is good in some ways, showing Pakistan is censoring the internet... =/ [if that made no sense, it's because I'm a bit out of it -_-;] | |

There is one site that global governments try to block daily, as they post classified documents up that the public should see; deleting the site does nothing, though, as they have over 500 addresses by which to access it. I won't post links to it, but PM me if you'd like to know more about it. | |

The fact that one person can bring down an entire site for most of the world...  | |

Oh, I thought you meant funny as in humorous. But yeah, I actually find that a little eerie. Everything runs on the internet pretty much; barely anything valuable is closed-circuit anymore. It would be so easy to destroy everything we've worked for. | |

Damn those Pakistanis. *shakes fist* | |
