Facebook bloqué au Pakistan

[harpalos]

News de mon correspondant à Islambad (edited):

The ban is still on...
Wikipedia is reopened, just a couple of pages now are blocked!
(it was unfortunate, many student could'nt do their assignments )

No new famous website in the ban. Just the usual case by case.
The only complete cases are Youtube and Facebook!

Twitter is back.
It was a temporary block with just one ISP I guess!

Il me signale une anecdote et me demande de vous la transmettre. Je ne la trouve pas représentative mais bon, je ne veux pas censurer ma source...

I am going to present you with dual standards of Facebook now!
Some colleague from Karachi made a group, "Hitler is a genius"
and the description read
“To all those who think they can ridicule Islam in the name of freedom of expression and yet punish those who speak of the genius of Hitler”
The next time he tried to log on to his facebook account, it was disable by facebook!!!
and that wasn't not even a racist page or anything!

(inutile de répondre sur ce Godwin sauf nécessité).

Concernant Hitler, ça peut aussi être des internautes qui l'ont censuré: http://fr.readwriteweb.com/2010/05/14/a ... -facebook/ .

@pers, je ne vois ABSOLUMENT PAS de qui tu parles… (c'est quoi cette odeur de BORG ?)

Godwin !

Tout-à-fait, c'est un Godwin, je le disais aussi.
Le collègue en question en a fait un article de blog:

One Facebook, Two Faces [One is Real Ugly]

I had been banned from Facebook and my account had been disabled a night before Facebook was banned in Pakistan. Before all this happened, I visited the blasphemous page “Draw Muhammad Day” and the content on the page hurt me badly.

Once again a certain group of westerners called it the “freedom of expression” and went on to show extremism – something they always verbally disassociate themselves from.

As a response to this lunacy, I thought it best to find out how they respond to others’ right of freedom of expression – I created an Adolf Hitler page right away and it read, “To all those who think they can ridicule Islam in the name of freedom of expression and yet punish those who speak of the genius of Hitler”.
