Pakistan's attempts to block access to YouTube have been blamed for a near global blackout of the site on Sunday.

Google, the owner of YouTube, blamed the outage on "erroneous internet protocols", sourced in Pakistan

BBC News has learned that the nearly two-hour long blackout was almost certainly connected to Pakistan Telecom and internet service provider PCCW.

The country ordered ISPs to block the video-sharing website because of content deemed offensive to Islam.

The BBC News website's technology editor, Darren Waters, says that to block Pakistan's citizens from accessing YouTube it is believed Pakistan Telecom "hijacked" the web server address of the popular video site.

Details emerge on YouTube block

Pakistan has rejected claims that it was responsible for blocking global access to the YouTube video clip site.

YouTube was hard to reach this week following action by Pakistan to block access inside its borders for its hosting of a "blasphemous" video clip.

Analysis suggests the block was taken up by net hardware that routes data effectively cutting off the site.

But a spokeswoman for Pakistan's telecoms authority said the problem was caused by a "malfunction" elsewhere.

Oh come on now!

In my honest opinions so many Muslims seem to get offended over nothing. They have to live with it, as with every one else. There are some criminaly racist videos on youtube, but you don't see those nations governments wanting to block youtube.

They seem to be offended over little things but never to the real racists: The people who daily preach racism and blow them selves up. These are the ones who are really degrading Islam.

Don't get me wrong I respect everyone, but this hole Islam and offence is just getting boring and ridiculous.

well you started it

All i am saying is don't blame the whole nation of Muslims because of what a minority do or what you see in the media!

If you want to know what the religion is about, go to the source and read the religious book of that faith.

It makes sense.
