Well, if you managed to make a reactionary old fashioned stuck in the past bad guy angry you must have done something good. Cheers to Twitter!

Twitter was never legal in UAE. When I tried in late last year or early this year, it was banned. It only seems to be land-based internet access that gets banned. When I try on my blackberry it usually works just fine. But any of these sites are still reachable through other services or vpn into your company.

It's just that the UAE doesn't want competition for their own state-funded microblogging site - cwensor.uae

YouTube isn't banned country-wide in Australia. It's banned in some schools in one state.

Dubai et al, they want to be seen as an enlightened western part of Arabia, but all they are is a bunch of posers. They don't really care about the guests and about the visitors, they just want the money.

You guys speak of freedom as though your countries were perfect models thereof. You probably restrict the sale of alcohol and pornography to children where you're from, right? You restrict the speed at which you're allowed to drive your vehicle in front of a school? You have probably even gone so far as to *completely ban* sale or possession, by everyone, of certain drugs and weapons?
Well, that's the line of social acceptability *your society has drawn*. The UAE and other middle eastern countries have their lines in different places.
