    Dear All
    Banning Twitter, Facebook or Youtube in Pakistan is not the solution of the problem. The best solution is to promote those sites like http://www.flicker.pk which offer clean social media networking facilities for Pakistani youth.
    I hope that this will encourage Pakistani minded websites to flourish and prosper.
    Thanks
