   Wikipedia Ordered to Remove Blasphemous Content in Pakistan   
      
       Blasphemous content ordered to be removed within 48 hours   
       Pakistan regulator ‘degrades’ services for non-compliance   
      
   Wikipedia will be blocked in Muslim-majority Pakistan if the platform   
   fails to take down content deemed to be sacrilegious within 48 hours, the   
   country’s telecoms regulator said. Pakistan Telecommunication Authority   
   (PTA) on Wednesday said it had “degraded” Wikipedia services on   
   non-compliance of an earlier direction to remove “unlawful” content,   
   according to a statement. While it did not elaborate on measures taken,   
   some suggested the site had been throttled. If the platform fails to   
   remove the content in question, Wikipedia “will be blocked within   
   Pakistan,” the authority said, without specifying the information it   
   wanted removed. “There is slowness and definitely it’ll impact especially   
   those who use Wikipedia for education and information purposes,”   
   Wahaj-us-Siraj, Chief Executive Officer of internet provider Nayatel, said   
   in a text message. Blasphemy is a sensitive issue in Pakistan, whose laws   
   condone capital punishment for anyone convicted of affronting Islam.   
   Authorities have in the past taken action against various social media   
   platforms for broadcasting content deemed blasphemous. Pakistan Tops List
