In an Orwellian move aimed at the orthodox cleansing of society’s eyes and ears against the much-jingled evils of freedom of expression and caricature, the LHC has approved a temporary ban on the demigod of social networking, Facebook. This has been followed by a shutout swoop on YouTube, Flickr, Wikipedia and Blackberry mobile services. The whole affair reeks of social retardation as it points to the desire of our paternalist set-up to bridle the passions of the people who do not know any better instead of the people controlling the passions of those in power. Seized by the moral brigade as an affront to religious sentiments due to a degenerate Facebook competition where cartoonish hoardings of the Prophet (PBUH) of Islam were to be parodied, it has been seen fit to completely ban the site till, for now, May 31st. My inner voice of devotional reason however, feels that our ministers of moral methodology may have gotten it all wrong.
