The protest
against Anti-Islam videos on popular social media sites is now reached on an
interesting point. The Jammu &
Kashmir state government has asked Internet Service Providers to block the
access to Popular Social Media sites FaceBook and Youtube. And on the immediate
action, Internet users in Kashmir are unable to access popular social media
sites FaceBook and YouTube.

| Facebook YouTube banned in Kashmir |
In late September,
the Internet service providers were asked to block the offensive contents and
Anti-Islam videos that were shared on YouTube and FaceBook. But now it is
learnt that the entire site access has been restricted.
The move
has been taken under Section 5(2) of the Indian Telegraph Act 1985. The report
in Greater Kashmir newspaper also confirmed banned on FaceBook and YouTube.
However,
there are some conflict statements from Service Providers and State govt. Aga
Ruhullah has denied any state intervention on this act. Aga Ruhullah is a State
Minister for Information and Technology. On the other hand the General Manager
of Reliance (J&K) said service providers received orders from state govt to
block entire site access.
