Hundreds of businesses in Pakistan depend on social media. Depend. Like financial gain and loss. Authorities decide to pull the plug without cause and notice, they cause the business to suffer financial losses. Facebook, Youtube, Google+ or Twitter, regardless of the tool, the ban on a platform is a problem. For the average internet user who simply absorbs the ongoing interaction, or the citizen journalist who uploads photographs and videos. Banning the platform is wrong.

As of an hour ago, the Ministry of IT banned Twitter despite assurances that no such action would take place. According to Interior Minister’s tweet last evening, “”Dear all, I assure that Twitter will continue in our country and it will not be blocked. do not believe in rumors.” The newly stationed IT Minister, Minister Raja Parvez Ashraf’s sole understanding of Social Media and the Web seems to be to block it. Blasphemy is the reason attached to every action so as to have every voice that stands up against it, deemed sacrilegious.

What’s to happen with all the virtual businesses that are unable to get through to their customers and partners via social media tools? What about all the good that platforms like Twitter actually enable people to do?
