Discussion on internet censorship held

Pakistan Press Foundation

QUETTA: A discussion about ‘Public attitudes and preferences about internet censorship and regulation in Pakistan’ was held here on Sunday.Organised by the Internet Policy Observatory and the Centre for Global Comm-unication Studies, Pennsyl-vania, the motive of the discussion was to look into the negative impact of internet censorship in Pakistan.

Speaking on the occasion, Senator Jahanzeb Jamaldini of Balochistan National Party said that internet was necessary for the development of the country and any restriction on its use would be detrimental for its growth and development.

He opposed the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Bill, 2015, and said the bill would not be able to control the cases of cybercrimes in the country. Majority of police personnel and lawyers in Pakistan were not familiar with the use of internet and they could not effectively control cybercrimes, he added.

  1. Hi there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  2. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

  3. I am no longer positive where you’re getting your info, however good topic. I needs to spend some time finding out more or figuring out more. Thanks for magnificent info I used to be in search of this info for my mission.
