(詳細はInternet in Pakistan. Pakistan made global headlines in 2010 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 filtering in Pakistan remains both inconsistent and intermittent, with filtering primarily targeted at content deemed to be a threat to national security and at religious content considered blasphemous. == Overview == In mid-2012 Pakistanis had relatively free access to a wide range of content, including most sexual, political, social, and religious sites on the Internet. The OpenNet Initiative listed Internet filtering in Pakistan as substantial in the conflict/security area, and as selective in the political, social, and Internet tools areas in August 2012.〔("ONI Country Profile: Pakistan" ), OpenNet Initiative, 6 August 2012. Retrieved 16 November 2013.〕 Additionally, Freedom House rated Pakistan's "Freedom on the Net Status" as "Not Free" in its ''Freedom on the Net 2013'' report.〔("Pakistan" ), ''Freedom on the Net 2013'', Freedom House, 30 September 2013. Retrieved 15 November 2013.〕 Internet filtering in Pakistan is regulated by the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) under the direction of the government, the Supreme Court of Pakistan, and the Ministry of Information Technology (MoIT). Although the majority of filtering in Pakistan is intermittent—such as the occasional block on a major Web site like Blogspot or YouTube—the PTA continues to block sites containing content it considers to be blasphemous, anti-Islamic, or threatening to internal security. Online civil society activism that began in order to protect free expression in the country continues to expand as citizens utilize new media to disseminate information and organize.〔 Pakistan has blocked access to websites critical of the government or the military.〔 Blocking of websites is often carried out under the rubric of restricting access to “blasphemous” content, pornography, or religious immorality.〔 At the end of 2011, the PTA had officially banned more than 1,000 porn websites in Pakistan.〔(Pakistan, Freedom on the Net 2012 ) report by Freedom House〕〔(PTA approved: Over 1,000 porn sites blocked in Pakistan ) The Express Tribune, November 18th, 2011〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Internet censorship in Pakistan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
