Pakistan's southern Sindh province has reportedly
decided to block access to online communication networks including Skype and
WhatsApp for three months to curb terrorism.
Sindh's Information Minister Sharjeel Memon said that
the administration is compelled to ban those networks for three months over
security reasons.
According to News24, police officials claim that these
online applications were frequently being used by terrorists and criminal
elements.
The country shutdown access to YouTube in September
last year after the site failed to take down an anti-Islam film that had
sparked furious protests across the Muslim world.
The report added that the other networks to face
the ban include apps such as Tango and Viber.
