Bangladesh bans Facebook

So the authorities decided to ban Facebook citing indecent images. If they were concerned with the images of of the Prophet then they would have banned access to the whole Internet a while ago as they are all over the place - if one wants to see them.

The Western media seem to be reporting that the ban was due to religious reasons viz Pakistan. If only they came and found out and not Parrot AP's misleading press release.

The real reason is the caricatures of Mz Hasina & Khaleda. If you get hold of those images then I suggest they be pasted on all free sites. They do not have the capability to ban these sites - not even Facebook using proxies and vpn's. They tried to use DPI (deep packet inspection) and failed too. Even Cisco didn't give the BD authorities time of day to reply for such a silly request.

I just hope that Mahbub Rodin isn't being tortured to death - Everyone remember that!
