Yesterday I heard that the photos I had posted on the blog can't be viewed in Dubai. Blocked by the internet providers of Dubai, saying that it is against Islamic culture to view such material. I dont know whom to blame, the internet providers in many countries who censore everything they find "offensive" or the ineffectiveness of the software they use to distinguish among Internet Traffic.
Added to this is the growing pressure by the governmental agencies to control the internet. Everybody from National Governments to United Nations wants some piece of the action. Various intelligence depts, software makers, hackers, you name it; somebody controls some part of the process that others want. The major problems/issues related to the internet are copyright laws ( P2P, mp3's, movie downloads etc), porn, and some political discontent publishing.
The P2P software debate went to the US Supreme Court today. Each side presented the basis of the illegitimacy of the p2p software and its defence. The court is yet to decide.
