Internet Censorship in the UAE
September 29, 2009, Posted by admin at 7:07 pm
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the regional leader in advocating censorship of the Web through the use of Proxy Filtering System. The filtering software aimed to block a wide range of online publications considered pornographic, violent, critical of the Government or the ruling families or supportive of certain Israeli positions or as content deemed “disturbing or harmful”. Censorship is often seen as a human rights violation, especially when it is combined with a repressive, governing regime.
