Hi Judy - The Facebook is blocked only in Pakistan. Ultimately elected Governments are responsible for application of national laws as well as the welfare and security of the people they Govern. Even the Tunis agenda stated clearly that public policy regarding the Internet is the responsibility of souvreign states. My point however was that some people mis-use the Internet in a way that others, including Governments, cannot ignore.

Kind Regards,
Waudo

Judy - The blocking could be justified. Some people are mis-using the Internet. Why should someone come up with an insensitive and unsettling idea of running a competition to draw caricutures of a religious figure?
