Facebook apologized for and removed offensive content from it's site, which prompted Pakistan to end a ban against the website. The offensive content was a contest on Facebook for a contest that requested for caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. Facebook promised that the content would not be seen again in Pakistan on the social networking website. It was a lawyer group called Islamic Lawyers Forum that initially called for the ban. Bangladesh also recently banned Facebook for offensive content as well.
