Facebook Banned Countries

On December - 2 - 2009

Facebook is today’s most famous social network service. More than 350 million users actively using facebook from many countries from all around the world. Facebook penetrated all almost all the countries in this world. Few countries banned facebook due to few reasons:

Africa and Middle East

The Syrian government cited the ban was on the premise that the website promoted attacks on authorities.The government also feared Israeli infiltration of Syrian social networks on Facebook. Facebook was also used by Syrian citizens to criticize the government, and public criticism of the Syrian government is punishable by imprisonment.

On February 5, 2008, Fouad Mourtada, a citizen of Morocco, was arrested for the alleged creation of a faked Facebook profile of Prince Moulay Rachid of Morocco.

During the 2009 election in Iran, the website was banned because of fears that opposition movements were being organized on the website; although access has since been reinstated.
Far East

In China, Facebook was blocked following the July 2009 Ürümqi riots. Huanqi.com had asserted that “Xinjiang Independence” activists were using Facebook as part of their communications network.

In Vietnam, an unauthenticated document supposedly issued by the Ministry of Public Security dating August 27, 2009 instructing ISPs to block Facebook sparked shutdown fears. Access to Facebook became intermittent in mid-November and major ISPs were swamped by complaints. Some technicians confirmed being ordered by the government to block access to Facebook while government officials denied it.

Users from facebook ban countries still can use Facebook using few techniques which will be covered in coming articles.

    We are so happy that facebook is banned in Pakistan. Soon other countries will follow and then the Muslims will have the real in dependence.

    We have everything to do anything.

    There is a much more better site of muslim social networking called UMMAH1 (www.ummah1.com)

    It is giving you the same features or more then the facebook might had. Come and join all muslims.

    Regards.

    Salam o alicum
    I always disliked Facebook even i didn’t use it.
    I saw just few of my friends madly using facebook and waisting their time. It was baned a whole year ago in our campus to avoid the time wastage.
    Once i tried to sign up and find out the entire business of the site and was totally disappointed having nothing but only find this one and that one and watching information. It was only beneficial to owners and agencies watching people’s information.
    China and Iran have already blocked this bullshit and now Pakistan has also baned this.
    It is a good luck for us to save our time and to do some thing creative instead of wasting our time in knowing about others…
