The title is (kind of) clickbait. It's actually just been ruled that using a VPN to access blocked content is against Sharia law. But fuck if that headline isn't funny

Guess any Pakistani corporation with some IT are breaking the law then
i doubt this law applies to beautiful legal people, just shiti organics...
that's how these regimes operate lol
I love when a God type peeks in from heaven, from time to time, performs a technology review with his main human peeps, and together they conclude a VPN is probably bad for the community / personal development / a deeper connection with said God etc.
So cool. Praise be heavenly technical reviews.
Thou shalt not browse The Internet
I can’t believe this wasn’t an Onion piece. Lol.
If jaweh wanted VPN, then why isn't it in the koran?
The Quran prohibits spying and other violations of privacy.
On the other hand, they've blocked Xitter in Pakistan.
