Why shut down Facebook?

Being a 70-year-old man, I am a regular user of Facebook. Facebook keeps me updated on the whereabouts of my children, grandchildren, relatives and friends who live all around the world. Facebook has reduced my sense of loneliness and depression which is very common among people of my age. When Facebook was shut down by the government, it was not possible for me to send messages every day to my loved ones abroad. Fortunately, the government has unblocked Facebook and I no longer have to bear this frustration in silence.

                 I, therefore, request the government not to do this again as there are alternative ways to use Facebook and these types of actions decrease the popularity of the government.
