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.

The news media in the UAE, the sole Internet service provider (ISP) Etisalat and Internet based content providers, all face stringent legal controls on  expression and access to information. A study report, OpenNet Initiative notes that UAE relies on American software (SmartFilter) to implement its filtering, and points out that UAE’s system suffers from considerable over-blocking that prevents its citizens from accessing a significant amount of Internet content on a variety of topics.

Professional hackers are employed to deface websites

The repressive regime in the UAE supports predatory, private companies for their hacking activities.  In Phrack magazine, Dr. Crash explains that computer technology is being misused not by hackers but by governments and corporations.

UAE Hackers Assaulting Websites

The coordinated hacking attacks against human rights content sites, which would probably be supported by the UAE (Abu Dhabi) regime is a great concern.

These hired goons are taking on a bigger role to invade server farms, breaking into more secure networks than ever before, mainly to deface websites.

Several sites of Western, Israeli and Asian Web sites have been defaced last year, this includes attack against ‘uaeprison.com’ Web server and it’s networks.
