Tweet of the Day: Pakistani journalist and policy analyst Huma Yusuf calls out the Zardari regime on its BS regarding the Twitter ban in Pakistan.

“Twitter banned in Pakistan because of ‘blasphemous’ content. This is censorship. Islam isn’t afraid of a few tweets, politicians are.”

Bingo. The state is using Islam as an excuse to justify its censorship which, most probably, has its roots in controlling increasing political dissent in the country. Guess what? No one’s buying it.
