Internet Filtering in the United Arab Emirates in 2004- 2005
The openNet Initiative prepared recently a study on internet filtering in the United Arab Emirates in 2004-2005.
The study explores the reasons behind the blocking of certain websites in the UAE. The study also mentioned that among the websites it tested, it found that 1347 websites were blocked (15.4%).
Compared to most other countries in the world, UAE’s filtering is extensive and this confirms to growing market for Internet censorship worldwide among states that seek to limit freedom of expression and access to information.
