Facebook is now a trend within the people around the world, regardless of their age or status. Even the President of USA, Barack Obama has it. Facebook is so popular that alot of famous people start to create one in order to stay in contact. The main purpose of facebook is for people to stay in contact with their friends.

However, facebook is ban recently in Pakistan due to Prophet Muhammad Day. The ban will only be lift till 31 May. This is to prevent people to
draw caricatures of the Prophet of Islam. This was clearly a insult to the religious event and it is only right for the Pakistan Government to ban Facebook till the Prophet Muhammad Event is over.

I believe that banning Facebook in Pakistan is the right thing to do for the time being. This will prevent people from misuse it and insult Prophet Muhammad event. However, this solution is only effective in the short term. The government could actually ban Facebook in their country, just like what China and Vietnam does.
