Shutting down Facebook in PNG is a reality

FACEBOOK users in the country can expect a months shutdown access to the site in PNG in order for the Communications and Information Technology Department to carry out research and analysis of its use.
Communications Minister Sam Basil said that the shutdown would enable the department and National Research Institute to conduct further research on how the social network was being used by users.
The time will allow information to be collected to identify users that hide behind fake accounts, users that upload pornographic images, users that post false and misleading information on Facebook to be filtered and removed.
This will allow genuine people with real identities to use the social network responsibly, Mr Basil said.

More of us should do this to hurt Facebook and warn them we wont allow this in the 2018 midterms.
