Banning facebook

Letters

PAPUA New Guinea can ban or temporarily limit access to the social networking website Facebook.
For instance, Facebook was blocked in Vietnam for two weeks in May 2016 due to protest of dissidents.
Vietnam Facebook users total about 52 million and is a vital tool for their day to day use.
However, the government is not accountable to the people which causes abuse of censorship in Vietnam.
In 2018, the government created a huge military unit to block posts containing \”wrong views\” online.
To appease the government, Facebook removed 160 \”toxic\” accounts for speech against the Communist Party in 2017.
Likewise, PNG can learn from Vietnam and improve Facebook censorship.
