Twitter has restored access to tweets in Pakistan, but still bans other material elsewhere
Twitter has unblocked access to dozens of accounts and specific tweets that it had made unavailable in Pakistan.
The social network had imposed the restrictions last month after complaints from the country's telecoms authority that the material was "blasphemous" and "unethical."
Many of the examples mocked Islam.
Twitter said it had now dropped the ban because the watchdog had not followed up its initial requests with further documentation.
It publicised the move by informing Chilling Effects, a website that keeps track of cease-and-desist demands sent to internet-based organisations.
"On May 18, 2014, we made an initial decision to withhold content in Pakistan based on information provided to us by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority," Twitter told the site.
"Consistent with our longstanding policies we provided notice to all of the affected account holders and published the actioned takedown requests on Chilling Effects to maximise transparency regarding our decision.
"We have re-examined the requests and, in the absence of additional clarifying information from Pakistani authorities, have determined that restoration of the previously withheld content is warranted."
