			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="drop">I</span> was pretty surprised to find <a href="http://karim.co.za/blog">waiting in transit</a> had a <a href="http://karim.co.za/blog/2008/04/18/twitter-banned-in-dubai/">post</a> on twitter being blocked in Dubai. He basically questions the authenticity of a post at <a href="http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Twitter_is_Banned_in_Dubai/551-88646-643.html">techtree</a>.</p>
<p>I personally just logged on to twitter this morning and as you can see i have been posting <a href="http://twitter.com/ismaild">tweets</a> regularly. However my internet is provided by Du and the post seems to refer areas covered by Etisalat.</p>
<p>Now, If it is in fact true, this is perhaps the silliest censorship i have ever seen due to the varied ways you can access twitter. As a last resort you could still use SMS.  They would need to block sending SMS to the twitter number in the UK as well to achieve this, but i fail to understand WHY would they even want to?</p>
<p>If anyone has trouble accessing twitter let me know, i will be going out later and will test the site from one of Etisalats hotspots.</p>
