We have been receiving a lot of queries regarding some on-going problems with some Google services, especially by those residing in Pakistan, and some other countries where sites like YouTube have been banned. Besides YouTube, the PTA has even blocked Google services such as Chrome web store, and Picassa web albums. As a result, many bloggers, and internet users can't access many sites, and are experiencing issues with some blogger-based websites, and websites that have a lot of content that has been blocked (such as YouTube videos). Some people also have redirection issues. If you are experiencing these issues, here is a way you can safely access these websites, so you might want to give this a read.
In response to the provocative anti-Islamic video posted on YouTube, PTA in Pakistan, and respective organizations in other Muslim countries blocked YouTube, along with many other Google Services such as Google App Store, Google Reader, Google images, etc. Tonnes of Blogger users were having difficulties opening their blogs and posting on it, since images weren't showing-up after uploading.
These problems are faced especially by PTCL broadband and DSL users. Sometimes, the blogs simply won't load. And sometimes, the blog URL redirects to Google homepage. Hence, a load of problems caused by the blockage of these services.
