KARACHI: YouTube may be banned in Pakistan but that didn’t stop it from taking to the streets of Karachi. Or rather, a mascot sporting the video-sharing wesite’s logo made the rounds of the city, asking people to hug it if they want YouTube back.
Team members of ‘Pakistan For All,’ a citizens initiative, gave Karachiites an opportunity to hug YouTube as part of a cheekily named campaign (see video below for reference) against state censorship and content regulation. A video of the campaign was released online on Friday and was widely shared on Facebook and Twitter.
In the video, Karachiites are seen happily embracing the mascot, who was holding a sign that read: “Hug me if you want me back.”
