bart Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Facebook I seen being banned in certain countries in the world. With other goverments looking on to see how it goes. Recently with the ousting of the goverment in Tunisia and protests in Yemen, Alegria and Eygpt.. all these protests are being orgainsed by groups on such sites. Hard to imagine we are living in a age wheras social network sites can bring down the world, it would not supraise me if a war started over comments on sites in the end.

66 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Well, really Facebook and other social networking sites are a simple means of public organization that is still young. The potential of such networks and their footprint on global politics seems infinite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Escapist Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think, ten, twenty years ago, we will look back and see the huge impact Facebook and social networking sites in general have had on society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxKels Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Im sure that Egypt caved in and again allowed the tweets and FBookers to carry on after Hilary Clinton called for the government to do so. But as said before, social networks are just an extension of the groups voices, a way to share news and organize protests, but not the actual cause of the uprisings. Not sure what is happening in Yemen today or if their gov. will cave also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matter-Eater Lad Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 They'll just add fuel to the fire banning facebook, phones and other things. The UN food index hit an all time high in December, and it's probably going to keep going up. The US is exporting inflation and some poorer nations can't handle it. At some point it'll come back to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivers of Avalon Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 blocking Facebook and twitter will not stop people if there is a revolution/rebellion going on .... then government should block internet otherwise there always will be some kind of social network/ forum for organizing crimes and raising protest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 all i know about criminals in that case, is that for Egypt is said the goverment free some political prisioners and those are making it hard for international press to inform about what's going on there, as they get insulted, banned and so.... but from that, sentence that there are terrorist behind it.. :confused: it doesn't surprise me all those revolutions, was going to happen some day i guess, all i hope it goes for good, won't be coherent to go to riot the streets asking for democracy and end accepting some undemocratic way of goverment, although theorically if it is accepted by majority of the people then there's nothing to complain/blame i guess.

ceader'schild Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Most of the protests that took place in my country this week were organised on facebook, and i agree banning social networking sites will just make things worse as the protesters who already have reasons to go to the streets will not be more peaceful if there has been attempts to silence them... ^ nah, it's a thin line between the protester and terorist what:shocked2:? no not true. I have taken part in some protests before and i can assure you, i don't intend to blow myself up or kill anyone in the name of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
