It's been a real buzz among the Mauritian Facebook community: Yesterday Facebook was put offline in Mauritius just because the Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam wanted to remove a humorist parody of a profile bearing his name!
I join the cause since this is an insult to free speech, especially since Mauritius is a democratic country.
And second, what about the other humorist parodies of Paul Beranger, our President Sir Aneerood Jugnauth and the very funny minister Gawressoo? Shall they also express their concerns and shut Facebook for a while in
if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = \',\';
phpAds_random = new String (Math.random()); phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11);
document.write ("<" + "script language=\'JavaScript\' type=\'text/javascript\' src=\'");
document.write ("http://imauritius.com/ads/adjs.php?n=" + phpAds_random);
document.write ("&clientid=2&withText=1");
document.write ("&exclude=" + document.phpAds_used);
if (document.referrer)
document.write ("&referer=" + escape(document.referrer));
document.write ("\'><" + "/script>");
//-->
'); return false">Mauritius, while 'their' profiles are being cleaned, as expressed by Pascal?
After going against the press, the Government is now going after the online community. Are we going to see another Great Firewall of China in Mauritius, as expressed by Eddy?
The picture shows what I get when I search for 'Navin Ramgoolam' today. Of course, there are other profiles and groups that have been created in the same spirit, which I have not shown. Is it only us in Mauritius who don't have access to Navin's profile? Or has Facebook genuinely removed them? I'd love to know if we're being fooled and if there's a special Facebook page for Navin for Mauritian users generated by local ISPs...
