The entire Indian subcontinent is currently struggling with the transition to a state of the world where citizens communicate freely and frequently without going through an organization controlled directly by the government.<p>Bangladesh, for example, has banned Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber and a bunch of other services for the last two weeks in order to prevent extremist responses to a couple of very touchy executions. The telecommunications ministry has  reached out to &quot;the Facebook authorities&quot; and the US State Department in order to &quot;make a deal&quot;...but the way they&#x27;ve gone about doing so feeds into the narrative that the they have no idea what they are doing.<p>They&#x27;ll learn to be effectively evil in time, I guess.
