Looks like Facebook, Myspace etc might not be around for much longer

Like I have been saying............. Dubai/UAE is getting MORE Islamic.

Anything that is considered to encourage 'relationships' is coming under scrutiny.........

I assume bebo.com will also be banned (a.k.a. www.paedophileparadise.com)?

its already happened - there's a 'compare people' bit where you have 2 different people and you are asked 'best looking' 'who would I rather kiss' etc etc

thats banned now

there have been bits of it banned for some time now.
but I'm sure some ingenious people will find ways around that

Might actually get some work done in the office then....

So the policy will be announced "by the end of the year"... well, that means nothing. Over a year ago, the TRA was insisting that DMC, DIC and du residential customers were about to lose their uncensored internet. I went out and bought VPN software for nothing

what software do you need for this?

I'll PM you

Bits of it have been banned for ages, but they will never ban the whole thing.

can you pm me please.

I read this morning in my 'expat guide' that skype has been blocked by the TRA...whats the best way to keep in touch for next to nothing?

Is MSN messanger allowed? Want to plan a cheap way to stay in touch with my parentals when I leave....

And as for facebook.... so, am I right in thinking only the 'who has kissed you etc' type applications are banned?

I use MSN all the time. Skype isn't banned

Jolly good then! Thanks BlueCat

BC

well, not at the moment...it has been though...!

MM, xx

Can someone PM me for anything???
