This week Pakistan blocked Facebook and Youtube, and according to the Washington Post "it deemed (the websites) "sacrilegious" to the nation's Muslim majority." It would be a different issue if Pakistan just blocked the bad pages for a little while until the problem was solved. However, for them to take the banishment to this level and actually block the whole website, was a very unnecessary move on their part. Pakistan should not have blocked Facebook and YouTube.
The reason Pakistan shouldn't have done this is, it separates their country from others around the world. Pakistani people connect to other people around the world through facebook and we share our ideas through both of thoes websites. The internet plays a major part of movement in the 5 themes of geography. We move our ideas through our internet and connect our cultures in that same way. For example, don't you think the popular youtube hit: The Evolution of Dance, has traveled from computer to computer all around the world? Imagine if we were confined to a national internet, and we could not connect internationally. We would definitely not have an easy access to explore and learn about other cultures.
