Pakistan's new government has threatened to block the search engine Google as part of the country’s long-running attempts to bar what it considers blasphemous web content. YouTube, which is owned by Google, has been banned since September when clips from a controversial film, Innocence of Muslims, triggered demonstrations around the world. Now Pakistan’s new minister for IT and telecommunications has hinted she will block the search engine altogether if YouTube does not remove unsuitable material.
Anusha Rahman said her ministry would start work this week on a web filter that would screen out blasphemous and pornographic content, as well as asking Google for help. "We will pump in extra money if needed and do whatever is in our capacity to bring YouTube back to Pakistan without compromising our ethical values," she said, according to The News. However, she added that YouTube would not be unblocked without changes in order to prevent fresh protests.
