Wikipedia has been blocked in Pakistan

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text dp_text_size=”size-4″]Wikipedia has been blocked in Pakistan by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) for failing to “block/remove sacrilegious information” within the allotted 48 hours, a spokesperson stated on Saturday.

Wikipedia is a free, open-source, editable online encyclopaedia that millions of people use as a starting point for basic knowledge. Because Wikipedia had not complied with orders to remove content that was problematic from the website, the PTA had on Wednesday downgraded Wikipedia services across the nation.
