Thats the thing CP… I totally respect your own individual prerogative to stop using facebook as a symbol of your protest - but I do not think the government has any right to make that choice on behalf of the entire population. I had friends and colleagues in Pakistan who wanted to actively counter facebook’s lack of response on this event through various efforts such as joining the Honour Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) group on facebook, but all these individuals were denied that option because of their government’s ban on facebook as a whole.
Besides, in my opinion, if we as individuals had opted to deactivate our accounts and/or stop using fb out of our own volition… that would have sent a stronger message to fb than a govt. ban that basically mandated that people not use it.
