facebookSo, after Pakistan sees a competition on internet social networking site Facebook to draw the Prophet Muhammad and blocks the popular internet site, the people of Pakistan are pleased to have the evil removed but are upset to not have their Facebooks.

Once upon a time, this would have been the end of it. Facebook would have been blocked on the internet by the Pakistan government and that would have been that. But times they are a-changing and the power of social networking is a real threat to those who wish to keep a controlled environment. But threat or not, even large governments dare not ban social media for fear uniting people in a common cause. Which is why, after a court hearing in Lahore High Court, Pakistan, Facebook has been unblocked, save for a few links to “blasphemous content.” Facebook – it’s not just your usual internet site.

    They say the pen is mighter than the sword. This seems like a good compromise for Pakistan and sets a precedent for future issues that may arise.
