Pakistan blocks Twitter because of 'offensive material'

http://j.mp/J6Ui4n  (BBC)

   "Pakistani authorities have blocked access to the social media website
    Twitter because of messages they say are offensive to Islam.  They
    talked of "blasphemous and inflammatory" material although it is not
    clear exactly what the tweets said."
