Pakistan says "YouTube bad."

We have consistently viewed Pakistan as being pro-Western, and part of our ongoing alliance against terrorism, but apparently that pattern is shifting. Pakistan has blocked access to some of the Internet's most popular websites -- including YouTube and Wikipedia -- over what it calls "sacrilegious" content. This move comes a day after the government blocked facebook because a page on the social networking site encouraged users to post drawings of Islam's Prophet Muhammad -- which Muslims consider blasphemous. A statement from the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority, quoted by several news agencies, says the government blocked YouTube and Facebook after the two websites failed to remove "derogatory material." It cited "growing sacrilegious contents" on YouTube but didn't elaborate. It also didn't explain why Wikipedia and the photo sharing site Flickr are also part of the ban.
