UAE blocks 40% of Internet
United Arab Emirates: 7 hours, 25 minutes ago
Around 40% of the Internet is blocked in the UAE, among the highest in the world, according to Arab Media Group head Abdullatif Al Sayegh. He told delegates at a conference titled Emirates Media Freedom that the solution to what children see should be through education at home, not by monitoring published material, Emirates Today reports.
I'm surprised its only 40! ..In my mind the internet is basically comprised of the following areas:
1% Politics
1% Google
1% Social Websites with no offensive material
1% Social Websites with offensive material
1% WikiPedia
5% YouTube
90%Porn
----------
Truly a shocker... expected something a little >90%.
