They are banning facebook, because it probably became a nuisance for the government. PNG ranks in the 136th place out of 176 countries Corruption Perception Index. This wikipedia article sheds more light on the issue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Papua_New_Guinea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Papua_New_Guinea
- coredog64 8y agoYes, PNG is corrupt, but it’s not like residents don’t know it. PNG is still somewhat tribal, and a platform like Facebook that makes it easy to demonize the other does not help anyone. Source: Used to travel to PNG on business and still have former coworkers that still do. My favorite news story about PNG corruption was that a group of merchants were assaulted and robbed in the lobby(!) of a police station.
