Facebook banned in other countries

I heard about this news and I was really thinking that it's just a rumor. But now I'm assuming that it's true. Well, these past few months I've heard some bad news pertaining to facebook. Like someone has been killed because her contact number and address from her facebook info was used to trace her, someone was not granted his insurance because of some photos uploaded in facebook and so on. However, I believe that the main issue is the privacy and I think Facebook is working on it. But the users should do their share as well to avoid problems by setting their own standard on the information and personal details posted in their facebook profile.

Some people are concerned about the security of facebook. I am very careful who I allow on my facebook. I have gone in and changed my profile settings. Some countries ban because it is a way for people to talk about the politics of the country. I'm not sure why Pakistan and China have banned.

I am not surprised that Pakistan have banned Face Book. A drawing of a religious figure shouldn't be allowed. It caused Pakistan some offense I think. It is a shame China has also banned Face Book. I am careful about privacy on Face Book. I don't display my birth day. I don't give my address, phone number or email address. I just say my name and female. I only accept friend requests from people that I know.

chiwasaki, At this time of your discussion, besides China other countries are appearing in the lists of those that ban Facebook and the latest official country is Bangladesh, above Pakistan, Syria, Vietnam, and Iran. The ban is country wide and I just have to say that the reasons are multifaceted and various, where every country will have their own bylaws. Failing to comply will only render establishments getting banned.

hi. i heard this news last week. yes, it is true that even facebook is being banned in Pakistan. in china it was banned too. and up to now, supporters of facebook and youtube cannot enjoy this hobby. from what i got, youtube is banned in Pakistan because the Pakistanis were offended by this video post about their prophet Mohammad. there seemed to be an art contest on Draw-a-Mohammad contest. and the winner's work was not really appreciated. Pakistanis were offended with the end result. so that quite led youtube to be banned in this area. am just not sure why these sites are banned in china. i hope it was done with justice

Iran and Syria banned facebook also. I'm not really sure about the religion conflicts, but if that's true, other countries will also ban facebook. I know someone from Pakistan and enjoys facebook a lot. I don't know how they will deal with it. I'll ask him and give you updates as well.
