    Facebook said Thursday it may consider making content that is considered objectionable by Pakistan inaccessible to users in the country.

    "We are analyzing the situation and the legal considerations, and will take appropriate action, which may include making this content inaccessible to users in Pakistan," Facebook said in an e-mailed statement.

    A Pakistani court ordered on Wednesday that Facebook should be blocked because of a page inviting people to draw caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.

    Protestors took to the streets in Pakistan on Wednesday to protest against the Facebook page.
