Also, YouTube has started displaying “YouTube PK” as its default logo on the website for users in Pakistan. While its not entirely clear, this move hints that a localized version of YouTube has been in play instead of default global version that Pakistanis used to get till few days ago.
Although, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) on Saturday filed a petition in Supreme Court to unban YouTube, Private News Channel reported.
According to details, PTA has filed a petition requesting formal removal of ban on YouTube maintaining the ban in Pakistan is not necessary after the launch of the localized version.
The PTA has submitted that it had put a nationwide ban on YouTube in light of the apex court’s order. It said YouTube has launched a localized version in Pakistan which does not carry content offensive to Muslims.
The petition further claimed that the YouTube administration would remove the blasphemous content on the localized version if ever uploaded again.
The petition says the ban on the world’s largest community powered video site is not necessary after the launch of the localized version.
