Pakistan
In 2010, Pakistan made global headlines for blocking Facebook and other
Web sites in response to a contest popularized on the social networking site
to draw images of the Prophet Mohammad. In general, Internet fi ltering in
Pakistan remains both inconsistent
and intermittent, with fi ltering primarily targeted at content deemed
to be a threat to national security
and at religious content considered
blasphemous.
