Because of this, many countries have banned or limited access to Facebook. Countries that have censored Facebook are Austria, Bangladesh, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Iran, Israel, North Korea, Malaysia, Mauritius, Morocco, Pakistan, Russia, Sri Lanka, Sydan, Syria, Tajikistan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam.
