Well the easiest way to stop 'propoganda' against Pakistan - is banish 'English'.
Over the years stop teaching anything except Urdu.
Soon only Pakistani's (& perhaps a few others) will be able to read & write in 'Urdu' - there you have it "your own internet".
You can start on Gupshup too - most of us Indian's will be out in a flash.
Brother there is saying that when pigeon see that cat is coming to eat him, he close his eyes because doing so he can not see cat, and he at then think there is no cat in front of him.While cat jumps on the pigeon and eat him.
Closing eyes can not end our problems, in fact we have to face them bravely. We have to find a complete and permanent solution. English language is not our enemy, In fact English Govts. Boycott western products, do not use their any medicine or anything like Chinese did. Until and unless you bring them economically down, you can't do anything. Make and prepare every product of best quality in your own country like china, France, Germany and Malaysia they are using 80% of their own products. Then you can push them out of your country affairs.
Only if those friendly countries also put firewalls on any outside countries but who will it be? afghanistan or somalia?
Seriously, if you are an IT expert then you would surely know how "easy" it is to achieve such an endeavor, as countries like china put in firewalls but you just can't replicate the creativity provided by an open platform .
Well every idea in the beggining finds its critics, this has always been the way the world works. People were laughing few decades ago of the thought that there will be personal computers at all and now you can see for yourself. More recently, when Steve Jobs announced the IPad, every body laughed him down and wondered who is going to buy that? And now, who has the last laughter? I don't mind the critic at all, but a debate on the technical aspects would have been great.
No body is suggesting that it is an "easy" task, but then which task IS easy? Building a free hospital, is that easy? Developing a fighter jet, is that easy?
Technically speaking, if you create your own communication protocols, for example the one where IP addresses are being bound to names and MAC addresses simultaneously (just like China is believed to be doing for IPv9), you end up having a network where other networks will not be able to so easily communicate with your network. This gives you greater control on the "Internet".
@Aussi: Well in fact I personally am not against learning English as a foreign language, but I am fully against for English being a status symbol. Your suggestion is very valid and Urdu should be the medium of teaching in our schools etc. I can give you examples of dozens of countries where no English is spoken but still they are the most developed countries in the world.
So thinking English = development is quite laughable.
Pakistan already has its own internet FYI. Every country has its own. they connect with each other so they can access each other's site. Remember few times some ship broke those cables by accident and pakistan lost all its communication with outside world. only pakistani websites were working in pakistan.
did akthar bahan mean that block all the non pakistani websites?
well say goodbye to gmail, yahoo etc including GS.
Sorry for a meaningful post. doesnt go with this thread :D
before islamic internet you need islamic computer and islamic laptops,islamic software like osama window, al qayda nux,islamic mac……..
name internet as "islamic banal aqwami jaal,” lan should be named as "muqami jaal”…...
then your national interest is not in closing your society inside iron curtain , you can not stop means of information , information is coming from sky which you are unable to block , but if you you want staying backward just close the schools run madrasa, as soon as you open your mind and the better you can think about national intrest ,do not try to imitate chinese ,they do not get inspiration from religion,they are guided by their own socioeconomic philosophy. they are adopting in fact copying without any regard to international laws , even they are unable to keep citizens from new era of information , they are not any more closed society.
In order to protect its national interests and to fight the malicious propaganda, should Pakistan create its own Internet?
Iran is going to do that in the next years and China has firm control on its Internet and media as well. Given the war like situation, I think it will be a good idea to censor some of the bought media in Pakistan which is so openly demoralizing the nation.
Western Govts. do it so often and ban the foreign propaganda if it is against their national interest (with the pretext "this is endangering american lives" or something like that)
What you guys think about that?
After suffering from many a thread you have started, i am speaking on behalf of most of the guppies here(self-appointed dictator :D) , closing pakistan out to the world is the last thing we need. In fact i advocate more foreign propaganda because the ISPR and the khaki propaganda has brought us to this dismal state, once again.

Pakistan should create its own sovereignty first because Amerika is walking anywhere killing anyone and then blaming muslims for the problem!
controlling internet is good and bad you need to control and stop some of the rubbish but also if someone has opinion different to you it is ok to either refute it or accept it.
Means, Pakistanis should be able to go to Pakistani sites only and not see porn on the internet or bollywood mujrahs :-) An Internet which will be completely Islamic and only verses, teachings from AL-Quran and Hadees should be allowed. Audios for Naats only :-)

I watch Pakistani mujar's only.. .never heard about bollywood's .. care to share?
If we're talking about censoring data from the media ... the more critical one that requires blocking are the India channels ... they are altering our culture and values ... I think this is worse than potential negative propaganda from the West. If we can't do a simple thing like avoid India channels then avoiding western media will be even more difficult.
^^ Yeah you are right, it is better to replace your cultures and values with arab and western ones and worry more about india which has totally alien culture.
half of the population wears pants , shirts, t shirts , jeans etc not sarees and dhotis.
half of the population speaks or knows english not hindi or marathi.
half the population says god instead of bhagwan.
most of the porn watched is american.
more guys go to gym instead of akara.
more people play cricket, soccar, tennis etc instead of kabaddi or gulli danda.
more people are getting westeranized liberal or token arabs instead of becoming indians.
and yet India is a bigger cultural threat to you.
it just hate speaking i tell you.
PS. i fail to see how pakistani movies represent real pakistani culture and values.

Completely agreed! We need to block Indian channels, it is poisoning our culture. May be at some later stage when the relationship between the two nations has normalized, some of the channels which do not spread hatred could be allowed.

which culture?..Conspir-astan has no specific culture so to speak...it is all borrowed....some from arab, some from iran, some from india..all religious practices (Ramadan, eid, haj etc) are common to all Muslim countries...on the other hand most of our social especially marriage practices are borrowed from hindu culture....all of our historical figures are either arabs or central Asians (moguls, Mohammad bin qasim, ghaznavi....)...Conspirastan has only one unique cultural trait, developed and nurtured by Pakistanis, and that is BELIEF IN CONSPIRACY THEORIES
^^ I disagree on one point.
The borrowed Indian culture you are talking about is your own as well. After thousands of years of same history we are two separate nation since just 60 years.
I have seen a lot of people reject Pakistani local culture and call it Indian/hindu culture while their forefathers were creator of it.
North Indian culture and Most of the Pakistan culture is the culture of the land and both have owner ship of it.
ofcourse i have taken liberty of separating religion from culture.

There is no doubt, that there are several traditions, which are similar among Pakistanis and north Indians.
And then there are several traditions which have their root in Islam and they were adopted, not yesterday, but hundreds of years ago and millions of Muslims in India follow those as well.
Some good Indian movies were watched very keenly by Pakistanis few decades ago, and similarly Pakistani dramas were very popular among Indians. But this new wave of Indian movies where they are trying to pretend as if they were some Western culture even have their critics in India, who are protesting about the level of nudity being displayed.
You can't watch those sitting with your family and we in Pakistan certainly do not need it. Even the new generation Pakistani dramas "made in Dubai" are following blindly their movies. And besides it has destroyed our own film industry as well. Film industry in any country is an important factor to display its cultural values.
The way Pakistan is always portrayed as some negative country and Pakistanis always as some sort of monsters in their movies, we do not need to watch that...
And what has it to do with conspiracy theories? You think Indians are better than Pakistanis when it comes to conspiracy theories?
^^ Out of 200 movies hindi film industry makes per year, i am sure you can pick and chose enough to entertain you for whole year.
Not that i believe that every hindi film is watchable but i know they make enough good movies.
PS. yes indians are etter than pakistanis when it comes to conspiracy theories.
