Facebook blocked in Syria
December 8th, 2007

Since November 18th, no one has access to Facebook in Syria. Trying to get to its homepage will result in a blank page. Lebanon’s daily As-Safir mentioned that the reason would be to prevent Israelis infiltration in Syria-based groups. An Associated Press piece of news in NY Times elaborates in more depth on the Syrian political background of this Facebook ban.
