“No Flickr In UAE” « A Flying Visit To Abu Dhabi

Surprisingly Flickr was blocked – I wonder what they did to offend the United Arab Emirates.

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.

Great series and description, thanks for sharing.
