1,800 pornographic Web sites blocked
Whats up with the other 6 millions???

Pakistani telecommunication authorities have blocked more than 1,800 pornographic Web sites in an attempt to protect Internet users from what they call their corrupting and evil influence.

More than 60 percent of an estimated one million internet users in Islamic Pakistan visit pornographic sites, said Zahir Mohammed Khan, a senior official of the state-run Pakistan Telecommunication Co. Ltd. (PTCL).

"We launched a campaign to block such Web sites in February and, so far, have identified and blocked 1,800 of them," he told Reuters by telephone from Islamabad.
