In the wake of public protests in The Peoples Republic of Bangladesh against the caricatures  of Prophet Mohammad, Bangladesh has blocked access to Facebook. The protests were in response to the pages on the popular social networking website like “Everybody Draw Mohammad Day” which created large scale controversy in the Muslim world which followed a block in a lot of Muslim countries as the act of drawing pictures of the Prophet is prohibited in Islam.

Pakistan blocked access to Facebook for the same reason till May 31, 2010. The bans, though temporary in both countries were supported by majority of the Muslim community as the pages were considered blasphemous. Facebook is creating a censoring policy where offensive pages will be censored in countries where said content is considered offensive.
