MyMFB (previously MillatFacebook) is a Muslim-oriented social networking website. It was launched in May 2010 in response to a controversial group on Facebook entitled ''Everybody Draw Mohammed Day'' and Pakistan's block of Facebook in response. ==History== On May 19, 2010, Lahore High Court banned Facebook from being accessed in Pakistan, after a user of the website created a page for ''Everybody Draw Mohammed Day'', and Facebook did not remove the page despite complaints from users.〔Dogar, Babar (19 May 2010), ("Pakistani court orders gov't to block Facebook" ), Associated Press (Lahore). Retrieved 17 June 2010.〕 Both this and the fact that Facebook had been criticized for its "confusing" privacy controls led to the setup of MillatFacebook, an independent site which offered Pakistani users a way to continue using a Facebook-style social networking site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pakistan establishes Muslim Facebook )〕 The site attracted over 4,300 users, most of them Pakistani, in the first few days. This number was expected to grow further because of Pakistani Facebook users being unable to access Facebook as a result of the national ban on the site.〔 On 30 May 2010, however, a Pakistani court ruled that the Pakistani government should restore access to Facebook. The Urdu word "Millat" is used by Muslims to refer to their nation. MyMFB has criticized Facebook for ignoring complaints from Muslim users, who MyMFB says provide almost 50% of Facebook's revenue. Chief Operating Officer Usman Zaheer said of Facebook that "We want to tell () Facebook people 'if they mess with us they have to face the consequences'. If someone commits blasphemy against our Prophet Mohammed then we will become his competitor and give him immense business loss(). (dream of making ) the largest Muslim social networking website." Chief Executive Officer Omer Zaheer said that the site is open to "nice and decent people of all faiths", and that it encourages freedom of expression so long as users respect one another's sensitivities and faiths. Zaheer has said that Facebook "seems to allow mockery of religions it has an issue with… The caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed were uploaded, and instead of taking any consideration and action, they came out and said they were supporting it."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pakistan launches Facebook for the faithful )〕 On 1 January 2013, ''The Express Tribune'' reported that the site had elicited funding requests to pay its server bills and may close down. The site later rebranded itself as MyMFB. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MyMFB」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
