News: Pakistan blocks Twitter

Social networking giant Twitter has been blocked by Pakistan today as their ministry of information believes inappropriate  content is being promoted on the site. The ministry is not happy about a competition on Twitter and rival Facebook asking people to post images of the Prophet Muhammad. It sees this as blasphemous.

Twitter will be unblocked as soon as the content in question is removed from the site. Nobody from Twitter was available for comment at this time.
