Facebook doesn't have dictatorship as of now.

Evgeny Morozov: How the Net aids dictatorships

What if you logged onto Facebook tomorrow and everything is blacked out. Every post you have ever written, any comment you have ever made, and every like or dislike you've made has been blacked out.
The Internet has shaped our lives through our ways of thinking and interacting with one another. Countries around the world implement the Internet according to their needs, such as using it for social media or just for common directions from one place to another. I believe that our generation uses it to spread their own opinion about what they're doing at that point in time as well as how they feel about issues that the government is taking on or changing.

Facebook is a daily used social media tool that allows people to speak freely and interact with one another. Some people may not recognize what they type or like affects the opinions of others.We can find huge gaps between society, people, culture, and governments because of the Internet. This is because the Internet has no control over when people use it or what people may say. If the Internet starts to have any type of control of what we can and can not say, will we lose our own voice? If we are told that we can not have blogs, or opinionated posts about anyone in government, who will be able to speak freely? When will our voice be heard if our main source of communication like the Internet is monitored 24/7.  Does this go over our rights as citizens. What about Marshall Law? I believe that the Internet will not be monitored, becasue we the people we not allow it to happen. The government will not be allowed to control what we say or when we say it. The Internet has no dictatorship, let's not allow it too.
