Syria Unblocks FaceBook – Syrians Need Facebook Unblockers Now
December 7, 2007 – 12:12 pmby Darren
Syria has taken the drastic step of blocking access to social networking website FaceBook.
Residents of Damascus said that they have not been able to enter Facebook for more than two weeks. An Associated Press reporter got a blank page when he tried to open Facebook’s home page Friday from the Syrian capital.
Syrian officials were not available for comment Friday because of the Muslim weekend, but some reports have suggested that the ban was intended to prevent Israeli users from infiltrating Syrian social networks.
Lebanon’s daily As-Safir reported that Facebook was blocked on Nov. 18. It said the authorities took the step because Israelis have been entering Syria-based groups.
Human rights groups have regularly criticized Syrian authorities for blocking opposition sites and Internet sites critical of President Bashar Assad’s government.
The good news is, you can always use a free proxy server to Unblock Facebook. Almost all filters can be bypassed easily.
