I sent them few e-mails asking the reason of blocking us, but I got nothing in return, which is sad!

There is far too much of it. I have to put up with it at work by a digital "smart filter". Anything that "it" thinks is political gets blocked. It's very annoying. I can imagine how people must feel in other State controlled areas... Amnesty International are running a campaign to protect censored online users rights and have a website you can go to and show your support... http://irrepressible.info/ Have a look and let me know what you think. I've included a banner ad from their site on my blog. I hate censorship. There is far too much of it. I have to put up with it at work by a digital “smart filter”.

Look in our own back yard. In Jordan where places like Arabtimes.com has been banned for what ... about 10 years now? To tell you the truth, some sites do deserve to crash and burn, since "Atheism" has become as much in fashion these days as fundamentalism has become. Anyway, I stand strong with Mahmood!

I mean, do you really think there is freedom in the Arab world! If you Roba go ahead and write about any (of the countless) deficiencies in the Jordanian government and the liberty of people in Jordan, your Andfaraway will be blocked in no time!... I liked to surf mahmoud's blog every now and then! but I am surprised as I cannot even access it from the U.S.?! Anyways... The freedom of the Arab people should start from their youngsters, we should not blame our "leaders" for depriving us from our liberties.. we need to work to get them back, Iyas.
