Case Summary

A ban on Facebook access throughout Pakistan was enacted on May 19, 2010 and then subsequently lifted on May 31, 2010. The Lahore High Court lifted the ban only after it was assured by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority that the offensive material found on Facebook was no longer available.

The decision does not establish a binding or persuasive precedent within its jurisdiction.
