How to unblock YouTube in Pakistan without Proxy
Pakistan blocks YouTube when blasphemous videos were released on YouTube on 7th September 2012. Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to remove/ block all the unwanted videos for Pakistani users. But if we look the blocking of YouTube become meaningless because now there are many proxies for block YouTube. 

Beside Pakistan many other countries also block YouTube for different reasons, Armenia blocked because of elections unrests, China block for two times and even Germany also block after the court decision. After the London bomb blast in London UK governments wants to limit or block social media. YouTube also blocked in some states of India because of religious conflicts between Muslims and Hindus, and the world champions of freedom of expressions USA also block YouTube for some time in 2007. 

Many Islamic countries, blocked YouTube because of anti-Islamic videos, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Iran, Libya, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey, United Arab Emirate, and Saudi Arabia but now it’s open by many Islamic countries. 

Blocking of YouTube creates problems for students, teachers, researchers and businessmen. If we judge the cause of blocking in many countries it’s related to local and light issues, but the blocking of YouTube by many Muslims countries is a deep issue, like anti-Islamic videos or blasphemous content. 

In the first step, all the Muslims countries should be committed to addressing such problems, while YouTube administration should also take a step to prevent such elements that use YouTube against any religions, cultures and society. 

Government of Pakistan should ask YouTube administration to remove the anti-Islamic videos without any conditions. Muslims countries should also make a public platform like YouTube for their masses.
