Pakistan blocked Facebook in collaboration with Saudi Arabia!

The administration of Saudi Arabia’s communication declared that it has blocked the most popular social networking site: Facebook as it does not complies with the conservative norms and values of the kingdom. The site was blocked by the administration of Saudi Arabia giving an error message when internet users try to access Facebook from their computers. The officials of Saudi Arabia declared that the Facebook has crossed the borders with the traditional norms, ethics and morality of their country, but blocking the site was a temporary measure. Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam and religious leaders have strong influence over policy making and social morals. Therefore, Pakistan and Bangladesh both also imposed temporary bans on Facebook this year in co-operation with their Islamic country. And when Facebook was blocked from Pakistan, the daily internet users had to face many difficulties as their businesses runs over Facebook and some people also used proxies to access Facebook from their country. Crazy users of Facebook and their addiction!
