How far can our Governments go on its decision on what should be on our Mobile devices?

I am asking you this because the "Social Media Capital of the World" or what we've known as the Philippines that were civilized by more than 100 million people, our President give threat to Face book of shutting down their platform in the country.

"Facebook, listen to me. You can not lay down a policy for my government. I allow you to operate here!"

"You can not bar or prevent me from espousing the objectives of the Government." - President Duterte

This statement was given by President Duterte just after a few days after Facebook took down on they called "TWO NETWORKS OF FAKE ACCOUNTS" in our country.

Not only because it will be a huge loss if the country banned Facebook, it is not just the reason why as a citizen like me care about this issue.

But more importantly, in the Politics, there are lots of situation than can cause a DOMINO EFFECT.

If the Philippine President banned Facebook in the country, let's expect more that more Governments will be the one to decide what should be on our phones, just like in the North Korea and China.

And as we all know, last month of September, US President Donald Trump just spoken about the possibility of banning Tiktok in the United States of America.

While in INDIA, they have banned already hundreds of Chinese mobile applications since the month of June.

But these banning of applications is only to justify because of having a security threats that's on a National Level.

And it is a different situation for Philippines from the other countries because it looks like very political and personal.

"Is there life after Facebook? I don't know" - President Duterte

If this article could reach our President Duterte, then I would like to make a request.

Dear Mr. President,

Please don't do this, please do not start a GLOBAL DOMINO EFFECT. It is already justified that banning applications because of National Security, but over something that can still be discussed and to give a second thought? Taking away the joy from millions of people in the Philippines, I really think that would really be too much.

During our fight and tough times of the Covid19' pandemic, we need to be one and stay together more than ever.

LOCKDOWNS & ECONOMY, Facebook helps to stay informed, entertained and connected to everyone.

It helps small time businesses and even helps the poor people and families who can only use Facebook with its Free Data Service.

There is and will be no good and positive of banning Facebook in our country.

And so, I didn't intend to panic anyone with this article. Because of what did the President stated might only be a Political Statement or just simply EMOTIONS.

But still, we should come together as one community and make the prevention of the DOMINO EFFECT go global.

Imagine if all Governments started to ban applications with their political relationship as basis, it can quickly affect the whole world.

More and more Governments will be like North Korea and China where Government control every part of everyone' lives, if the moment of what's on our phone become a political statement.

By reading this article and sharing it to everyone, WE can prevent the DOMINO EFFECT

Actually you know what? I think on every country Facebook App And Their Media should be ban.. Beacuas, They Stole Our Information and sell those on deep web.. If you ask how they steal our info? Ans is their new update to today they were give some conditions, one of the condition is that no one can use Fake Facebook account. If anyone use then they will lock the account then they will ask to NID, Driving licence or scan copy of passport..
