Does anyone know anything about akamai?
We mainly use it to cache content and reduce latency for VoIP.
I heard an interesting conversation at work with some high up technical dude
a while ago.
He mentioned that a website of ours was getting blocked in china.
It was blocked either because we linked to a page that mentioned sex, or we
had the word sex on one of our pages.
Anyway, he said that using akamai caching got round this.
As I'd only been in the job for a month, I didn't think it wise to quiz him
too much about it as he might have thought me either a troublemaker, or a
wierdo, or both.

Maybe it's just  as simple as the fact that akamai is big enough to bribe
the right people over there.

Does anyone know anything more about this kind of thing?
