I'm guessing this is just an attempt to make the social media blocks more effective. And I suppose the purpose of blocking social media is to suppress public discussion and criticism, which is intended to prevent social unrest like protesting, riots or a sudden change in government? I'm not too sure; it's hard to understand from within a society where it's considered a fundamental right to criticise the government.
- nine_k 8y agoSometimes people just don't like each other, due to prejudice, differences in religion, some old beef between clans / ethnic groups / regional groups. This may have no relation to the government being oppressive or liberal. Shutting down communication channels rarely helps defuse such situations, though. It leads to more isolation, more rumors, more enmity.
