Despite an international apology tour for the Cambridge Analytica scandal,Gina Wild - Jetzt wird es schmutzig 5 (2000) not every country is accepting Facebook's "I'm Sorrys."
Papua New Guinea's Communications Minister Sam Basil told his country's Post Courierthat citizens can expect a month-long shutdown of Facebook. The government will block access to the site for a month in order to assess the benefits versus risks of Facebook for PNG citizens, particularly around pornography and fake accounts.

"This will allow genuine people with real identities to use the social network responsibly."
The shutdown constitutes an enforcement of PNG's 2016 Cyber Crime Act. The month sans-Facebook will reportedly allow police to find criminals utilizing Facebook, while the PNG government considers the role of Facebook in society.
Basil said that the government would also consider creating its own state-run social network.
With a population of around 8.4 million people, PNG has roughly the same amount of citizens as New York City. However, according to The Guardian, only 12 percent of Papua New Guineans use the Internet, and Facebook. That comes out to about 1 million people, which is a drop in the bucket of Facebook's 2.19 billion active monthly users.
But if PNG's restriction becomes a trend among smaller countries, that could hurt Facebook's standing around the world. Especially since Mark Zuckerberg has expressed that his vision for Facebook is as a public good or a utility; something that he has said isn't "cool," but is important -- and, crucially -- ubiquitous.
