Al Jazeera: The unbiased news of the Middle East.
:( ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Petri Laihonen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sep 20, 2007 12:44 PM Subject: Re: [brlug-general] Alarm! Political Censorship of Email. To: general at brlug.net Another example of censorship is blocking the access to the websites outside of us for unskewed information. For example, Al Jazeera during the height of the Iraqi war. (Now the access is "enabled" to the parts not censored out.) A friend of mine, Born and bread here in New Orleans, was trying to keep up with the real information from the region, and was unable to get it directly from US. He had to go via proxy servers in other countries in order to access the website. Petri PS. hmm new word.... I had to look up the word "insidious" from the web.... willhill wrote: Censorship is insidious. There will never be a more clear sign than the TruthOut case. Network and software freedom are the only cure.
