According to me, all social networking websites must use several limitations or even make some guidelines so that no one should be able to create or discuss anything related to anyone’s religion or anyone in history.
If this is not controlled, then there will be chaos almost everywhere. We have so much limited life and we are still fighting more than religious issues. No one should be able to make this kind of comments or post anything which is a disgrace for others.
I hope everybody knows and these social networking web sites that have become giants in their particular domain names must feel the responsibility.
An outstanding step taken by the government of Pakistan. Facebook is banned by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority. Let’s hope Facebook realize and remove such events/groups from its site; so that many software houses which are doing Facebook Application Development does not suffer great loss.
Pakistan Bans Facebook over Caricatures
Lahore High Court has issued an order to ban the access of popular social networking site Facebook in Pakistan for holding a contest of Prophet Muhammad’s Caricatures. Chinese News Agency Xinhua reported that Judge Ejaz Ahmed Chaudhry had instructed the Ministry of Telecom to block the access of Facebook in Pakistan and submit a written reply by May 31.
Islamic Lawyers Movement had filed a petition against a competition that was about Islamic religion founder Prophet Muhammad’s blasphemous caricatures on Facebook. The lawyers stressed, “The competition has hurt the sentiments of the Muslims.” The Ministry of Telecom officials told the court that after the news was reported, Facebook pages showing Prophet Muhammad’s blasphemous caricatures were blocked.
However, the lawyers argued that the entire website should be blocked and hence Facebook is reportedly blocked in Pakistan by Telecommunication Authority. So until a written reply is received, the website will apparently be inaccessible in Pakistan .
That goes out to Facebook, ouch!
