KARACHI, Jan 24: Sindh Chief Minister’s Adviser on Information Technology, Environment and Alternate Energy, Muhammad Noman Saigol, on Tuesday gave a one-month deadline to the owners of all internet cafes in the province to end ‘closed cabins’ in there premises and take steps against obscenity, otherwise their businesses would be sealed.
Taking stern notice of complaints from citizens against obscenity and other anti-moral activities in the internet cafes, the adviser asked the owners of all internet cafes in the province to remove the cabins and door system in their cafes and instead install very small open boxes with crystal glass over the height of three-feet, so the viewers could be easily seen from the outside.
He asked them to install a firewall on their net-servers so that anti-moral surfing of the users could be controlled.
Noman Siagol also took stern notice of the complaints that net-cafe operators themselves guide customers to pornographic websites and use of web-cameras.—PPI
