After Facebook was blocked in Pakistan, I received a really interesting text message from a friend. That text message has a line mimicking Facebook’s following notification:
“XYZ has tagged a photo of you“.
Below that text, there was a picture of donkey drawn in ASCII characters.
I shared it with few of my friends to see how they get it during that time. I received quite different types of responses. I’m posting few of them here.
That’s the text message I sent:
Knonie Dost has tagged a photo of you…

Few of the responses are listed below. I have changed the real names to initials for privacy reasons.
