    Pakistan blocks Wikipedia for ‘blasphemous content’ – By Maria Zaccaro (BBC News) / Feb 4, 2023

    Wikipedia has been blocked in Pakistan for hosting “blasphemous content”.

    The move was announced on Saturday after the free online encyclopaedia was given a 48-hour deadline to remove some material.

    The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) said Wikipedia failed to comply with its ultimatum.

    The Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts Wikipedia, said the ban meant Pakistanis would be denied access “to the largest free knowledge repository”.
