'Hotbed of Slander': Tajikistan's bizarre explanation for blocking Facebook
http://j.mp/WXBYG6 (Washington Post)
Tajikistan's government has ordered all Internet Service Providers and
mobile carriers in the country to block access to Facebook, cutting
off the country's 41,000 users off from the world's largest social
network. The country's telecom chief, Beg Zuhurov, justified the move
by saying "hundreds of citizens" had called him to ask that Facebook
be shut down because it was a "hotbed of slander."
