NoSpace in UAE
The United Arab Emirates has blocked MySpace.com, according to Dubai newspaper 7 Days.
For the majority of the country, Emirates Telecommunications Corporation, also known as Etisalat, has a monopoly on business and personal telecommunications services. The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) requires Etisalat to actively censor Internet sites, and material which is deemed offensive is often blocked. Etisalat said this week that MySpace.com is banned because the website does not do enough to categorise adult content.
7 Days spoke to an Emirates musician, Saleh Hamed, whose opportunities have been suddenly and drastically limited by this move.
Hamed says that if a site is found to offend, blocking it outright is not always the answer. The solution, he suggests, is not censorship, but education. Otherwise United Arab Emirates is in danger of being left behind in the creativity stakes.
Quite.
