Twitter banned in Dubai?
I was pretty surprised to find waiting in transit had a post on twitter being blocked in Dubai. He basically questions the authenticity of a post at techtree.
I personally just logged on to twitter this morning and as you can see i have been posting tweets regularly. However my internet is provided by Du and the post seems to refer areas covered by Etisalat.
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?
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.
