This whole discussion is a red-herring.    The Establishment’s interest is not simply blocking pornography but in blocking sites exposing widespread human rights abuses and corruption committed by the ‘deep state’—i.e., by the agencies who hold real power in Pakistan.  That is why Baloch sites are blocked, as our sites which document corruption and abuse of power by the military, or sites that challenge the official  “ideology of Pakistan.”
