Facebook is being blocked in China over the Urumqi clashes.

Rediya Kadeer, president of the World Uighur Congress, explained “social media is critical to the Uighurs’ cause” in an exclusive AllFacebook interview earlier this week. Facebook wall posts were used to spread news after Twitter shut down in Urumqi, China, AllFacebook reported Sunday.

China’s shutdown of Facebook is part of a larger social media trend where citizens are denied access to Facebook and Twitter as a means of enforcing state control over media. Google was also targeted in dramatic fashion on Chinese TV recently, when Google’s “autosuggest” search functionality was manipulated by Beijing to show how Google actually suggests that Chinese users search for porn online.

China is also watching Iran, where social media effectively provided live coverage of the election protests. An Internet exec commented to me that “it’s as exciting as the CNN coverage of the first Gulf War” to watch the protests unfold via Twitter.

Naa koy facebook pero wala koy gihiligan nga duwa sugod ra ko start pero wa na balika ug naunsa nag farm. Weird nako paminawon nga mag virtual farming mao kanang akong oras nga iestambay sa FB ako nalang gamiton sa real farming. Mas magstambay pa ko aning TB unya hapit ra kadali sa FB igo ra mo lili ug naa bay message sa akong inbox mao ra.
