Why no freedom at saudi arabia ? Even on Internet? |
Travel Info Saudi arabia the world richest oil producer blocks information on the Internet saying that it has blocked illegal sites, they have blocked orkut.com which is one of the world best forum. How can the people in saudi arabia prosper? Thye block the freedom electronically too. ( www.internet.gov.sa ) see for your self. Is it possible to live without full free knowledge? I think all saudis have half brain. What do you all think? Travel Tips I agree with you... like someone on here asked to translate a video, i clicked on the link..and of course it's blocked. It gets really annoying...more than half the websites they block aren't even bad! Others First thing is that you are very rude. Since the government of a country blocks access to certain internet sites the people of that country have half a brain? That is stupid to say. Second, it is impossible to stop the spread of information to all people now days. No government can possibly keep up with the multi-billions of bits of information that are passed via email, sites, mouth to mouth. If you really think that people in Saudi don't know what is happening outside of Saudi you are greatly misinformed. You underestimate humanity. Saudi enforces Sharia law and their morality and religious beliefs and lifestyle to all that live there. It is that simple. i think all the governments have lost their mind. A: to all the Qs: O-I-L If you access the internet thru satelite connection, you won't get block. Saudi is not the only country do the censorship over the internet. China does it too. The word "freedom" can be interpretate differently by each country. Saudi Arabia has an effective and reasonably transparent Internet filtering regime. The Kingdom achieves its control over the content users can access by placing proxy servers between the state-owned Internet backbone and servers in the rest of the world. Requests from Saudi ISP users must travel through these proxies, where they can be filtered and blocked. The Internet Services Unit (ISU) of the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) maintains the firewall and its content filters. Saudi Arabia is open about filtering Internet content, and provides relatively expansive details about the content it blocks and the methods it employs, although it does not offer a list of blocked Web sites. The ISU describes its filtering system explicitly on its public Web site: KACST maintains a central log and specialized proxy equipment, which processes all page requests from within the country and compares them to a black list of banned sites. If the requested page is included in the black list then it is dropped, otherwise it is executed, then the request is archived. These black lists are purchased from commercial companies and renewed on a continuous basis throughout the year. This commercial list is then enhanced with various sites added locally by trained staff. If a Saudi Internet user tries to access a page blocked by the government, the requested page is "dropped"; instead of showing the page, the user's computer displays a "block page" stating that " access to the requested URL is not allowed!". The Saudi filtering system uses default rules for blocking access - if a specific URL is not listed in the black list, but its parent domain or directory is blocked, the filtering system will block that URL. I am an educated person with a full brain without ever used orkut.com. What kind of knowledge are you talking about? Take care! edit: just read you additionals. Do you know how many Saudis are getting educated in western countries? Why should believing Muslims be interested in any Hindu stuff? That's not relevant. Knowing about Hindus etc does not make you being educated. There are more important things in life. Believe me. KSA provides a great education. |
