But is more to this story than first meets the eye
Nauru? officially known as Pleasant Island, located 500 kilometers north-northeast of Papua New Guinea, and only 26 miles south of the equator has a population of over 9,000 people, 0% of them the Christians.
blocking Facebook in Nauru is apparently to protect "Christian heritage and culture" of the country - nothing to do with stifling freedom of expression, or censorship. Well, that's a relief!
An increasing number of Nauruans are sick and tired of the Minister of Justice David Adeang dictatorial antics, and see the Facebook ban as a measure to prevent them to share their frustrations against their government.
opposition MP Matthew Batsiua told ABC news that "everything on Adeang and his cronies are concerned about the growing number of people who took to social media to criticize the dictatorial style that even the president wants neither. - or too afraid. - to master "
Adeang, like so many others before him, is citing the reason for the block on Facebook Nauru to block pornography and to protect the heritage of Nauru claiming" many outside of Nauru does not include the Pacific culture and Nauruan. "
Yes, that makes sense. blocks Nauru Facebook to preserve their heritage, faith and values. Remember that Facebook was blocked to stop criticism of the government would be absurd!
However, ABC News in Australia reported (via an anonymous source) that orders to ban Facebook at Nauru came directly from the Australian government to help its resettlement policy Cambodian. This, says Pamela Curr Resource Centre Asylum Seeker speaking to ABC News, is because "The Australian government is anxious to get a group of people who go to Cambodia and they fear that the people on Nauru are in contact with lawyers Australia, which they believe is they talk about the Cambodian option ".
Curr believes that banning Facebook in Nauru will be lifted as soon as the plane leaves for Cambodia. However, Australian authorities claim that Facebook Nauro block has nothing to do with them
