Many people were surprised when Papua New Guinea<\/strong> suddenly banned<\/strong> Facebook<\/strong> starting Monday<\/strong>. According to the government<\/strong>, this is a \"test\"<\/strong> to limit<\/strong> fake news<\/strong>, hate speech<\/strong>, and pornography<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

But many opposition MPs<\/strong> and critics<\/strong> objected, saying it violated<\/strong> human rights<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

According to Police Minister Peter Tsiamalili Jr<\/strong>, this is not to suppress free speech<\/strong>, but to protect people<\/strong> from bad content<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

In Papua New Guinea, Facebook<\/strong> is the most popular social media platform<\/strong> used by 1.3 million users<\/strong>, including small businesses<\/strong> that rely on it for sales<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

In addition, social media<\/strong> is a great help<\/strong> public discussion<\/strong>, especially as press freedom<\/strong> in the country is declining.<\/span><\/p>

According to Neville Choi<\/strong>, president of the media council<\/strong>, this ban is like suppression of freedom<\/strong>. More alarming is that two government agencies<\/strong> that should know about this have no idea<\/strong> of the government's plan.<\/span><\/p>

Opposition MP Allan Bird<\/strong> warned, saying that the situation is dangerous<\/strong> and that the people no longer have the power<\/strong> to stop it.<\/span><\/p>

This ban<\/strong> coincides with the new counter-terrorism law<\/strong>, which gives the government power<\/strong> to monitor<\/strong> and limit online communication<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

Bird added that this is a \u201cdraconian law\u201d<\/strong> that takes away freedom<\/strong> and that the Facebook ban<\/strong> is \u201cjust the first step\u201d<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

Even though Facebook<\/strong> has been banned, many people are still able to use it using VPNs<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

According to John Pora<\/strong>, chairman of the Small and Medium Enterprises Corporation<\/strong>, businessmen<\/strong> who rely on Facebook<\/strong> for income are more affected.<\/span><\/p>

Papua New Guinea<\/strong> has long threatened to ban Facebook<\/strong>. In 2018<\/strong>, it was locked for a month<\/strong> to remove fake profiles<\/strong>. In 2023<\/strong>, they launched a parliamentary inquiry<\/strong> about fake news<\/strong> and social media<\/strong> in the country.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/article>
