SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) Google chief executive Eric Schmidt on Friday said he suspects suppressing political criticism is a factor behind the move to block YouTube and Facebook in Pakistan in the name of Islam. Im always suspicious of these broad bans, Schmidt told a gathering at non-profit public policy institute New America Foundation, of which he is chairman of the board. In every case we looked at, there is an official reason then another reason. There is an awful lot of political criticism they are blocking at the same time. I am very suspicious here.
