Useless exercise

Re: Facebook, Zuckerberg and Prime Minister Tuilaepa’s troubles

I have traveled often to China in my business activities and initially found that many “normal” websites and social media were banned by the Government there.

Within a few days I found that this form of censorship could be very easily avoided by the use of V.P.N. services so the censorship was completely useless.

The P.M. will find out that he can try all he likes to “ban” Facebook but this is a futile exercise.

The only way he might do this would be to shut down the internet in Samoa completely, thus sending Samoa back to the dark ages of before 1989.
