Re: Stupid stuff Etisalat blocks
What I would like to know is this: it prevents you from looking at porn (and things that it thinks are porn), but how does it know? What technology does it employ to tell them what is a port site? Surely they can't look at every single site on the web individually to see whether they are port sites or not? Does anybody know?
