Youtube ban officially lifted

Published January 18, 2016 Updated January 18, 2016 11:09am

imageThe ban on Youtube has officially, been lifted after the hiatus of three years. The website was blocked by the Pakistani government after blasphemous content was not removed from its platform.

According to local media sources "Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has told Supreme Court about the removal of objectionable material from the site," media reports stated. "Any objectionable material can be removed on the request of Pakistan government," reports added.

"You Tube will be revived in next 48 hours all around the country," it added.

Youtube, the Google subsidiary, launched a localized version of the website in Pakistan earlier this week. After the launch of the localized version, hopes were ignited that the official announcement of the ban termination would be made soon making it accessible to the public.
