Pakistan Torches National Firewall Plans

Earlier this week, the Pakistani government announced that they were canceling plans to build a national Internet filter similar to China’s “Great Firewall.” The massive firewall would have blocked up to 50 million URLs and, if completed, would have been one of the largest online censorship projects in history
