Some websites get Blocked by our Internet Provider ( Ecompany.net )
not because it offends the country but for having Adult videos or photos , Adult Advrtz, or the site has been Reported by many users
and many many more
makes internet more safe
we love it
hope u enjoyed ur visit to AUH , things changed and Many lovely places
I hardly think that blocking an entire site such as Flickr because it may contain the odd dodgy video makes the internet more safe – it’s a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face!
I certainly enjoyed myself – although a couple of days wasn’t enough!
You don’t feel the chains restricting you, if you don’t move
Blocking is non-sense in my eyes, especially for the lie of safety.
We had a customer of a child care center, they wanted the net blocked for sex sites. It does work for a lot of sites, but never ever for all and the kids find their ways around. Same will count for Arabs It is just painful for all “normal” people.
