Gabe's Article Report #2

Author: The Economist
Title of the Article: First Facebook, then the World
Publication: The Economist
Date of Article: May 29, 2010

Summary
In Pakistan, the web page Facebook was censored, because there is too much information against the principles and values of this country. Moreover, many other pages are being censored such as parts of Wikipedia, BBC news or Twitter, which is causing a big problem against the free expression in Pakistan.

Issues
What is the following step in the censorship in Pakistan?
Why are these web pages against the principles of Pakistan?
Why are there so many people who agree with this measure?

Opinion
In my opinion, this kind of behavior is dangerous for the development of a country. For example, the government could allow only the good things of this, and hide its bad behavior. This situation could even cause a problem in the democracy of this country.
