Web Censorship Increasing in Middle East Countries

Published by The Tampa Pirate December 28th, 2007 in Islam, Terrorism

Despite what liberals may want to believe, Middle East countries aren’t progressive. Recently Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria and Iran have increased their censorship of the Internet. They do not want their citizens seeing, reading or hearing anything that is anti-Islam, pornographic (loosely defined), sexual, political, related to human rights and anything dealing with female issues. Wow real progressives there.
