Is Face Book banned?

Recently Syria banned face book in order to reclaim the Golan Heights.The cause of this is Face Book permitting Israeli people from the Golan Heights to list "Israel" as their residence country. In addition, Damascus joined the protest by banning Face Book and Even Youtube.

Through Face Book Israeli users can talk and chat to Syrian ones .It is not welcomed by Syria.It happens everyday , people from Israel contacting people from Syria , eventually Syria decided to take action and it is not alone.By doing so Damascus and Syria prevent its citizens from communicating with other people over the world and reaching basic universal information.

In my opinion, preventing from people information , to censor, is wrong and should be forbidden. Those countries are denying their citizens from the freedom of knowledge. Sealing them in a bubble away from the rest of the world, concludes in people living in total blackness from the rest of the world.

To sum up, Syria actually has taken a stand against its own citizens, denying their rights for the sake of political reasons. I see in this act the worse way to handle the situation because the government denies its citizens the most basic right they deserve.
