The Island of Nauru in the Central Pacific
A spokeswoman for Facebook said: “We believe that restricting access to a free and open internet deprives people of important economic and social opportunities and choices, and hope that access will be restored soon.”
Opposition members of the Nauruan parliament have expressed concern about the censorship in Nauru.
The former president, Sprent Dabwido, said the block was imposed due to “paranoia” about independent media scrutiny on the island nation.
The Facebook ban was directed by the Nauruan government, but was imposed by the nation’s internet provider, Digicel. It came shortly after the general manager’s visa was cancelled and she was replaced by another Digicel staff member.
Ah.

Fairly grasping at the real D.O.B. related straws here BS.
D.O.B. does like him some media manipulation….
He knows the only thing that controls the government is the media and its portrayal of them. If you can control the media you can get whatever you want.

Yes, the Aussie Government uses Nauru to warehouse/imprison asylum seekers, ignoring human rights abuses.

for gods sake BS
DOB must have really pissed JR off at some point
I’m lead to understand Mr O’Redacted intimidates all and sundry in the media world with his legal letters
I extremely agree with Eoghany. Its probably done by territories around the world.
When an economic power house like China has blocked Facebook, it doesn’t surprise me that this island, and possibly many more territories around the world have also blocked it.
