Internet Censorship and You!

....you saw it coming. Of course, one of the main reason I was convinced to make a blog was to rant about the shit that's happening in my life and this is one of them.

Internet Censorship. We have never though we'd see this day until now....in Bahrain anyway :/
So..from my knowledge, I believe this is how it went:

The Ministry of Information decided that now is the right time to block "Immoral" stuff that lurk on the Information Superhighway (your guess is as good as mine. Porno.). Now, I don't mind Porn being blocked (but I know many people do and they do whatever it takes to get their Poon (yes, Poon) on their Computer Screens). but the Idea of starting this Internet Censorship shit now is a really really strange idea. I mean, The internet was brought to our glorious land of Dilmun (was in the mood lawl XD) around 10 years ago or more (correct me if I'm wrong.) and now in the year Two Thousand and Fucking Nine, they started the Censorship!
OK. The real reason that made my piss boil in my Urinary System was the idea of blocking things other than Porno. Which is....Deviantart.com!

If you are reading this now, you will probably say "but Deviantart was unblocked so why rant about it?". Let me get to the point on how FUCKING MAD I WAS WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THE SITE I USE TO GET AWESOME WALLPAPERS, LOOK AT AWESOME ART AND FLASH ANIMATIONBY CREATIVE PEOPLE, etc...... WAS BLOCKED BY THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT!!!!!
Tell me, WHAT THE FUCK WAS WRONG WITH THAT SITE ANYWAY?!
WAS THERE PORN IN IT?! (I recall seeing some Nude art but most artists flag it as Mature and they only way you will see it is if you create an account with the Age above 18 BUT THAT'S NOT THE FUCKING POINT!!)
WAS THERE ANYTHING OFFENSIVE TO THE GOVERNMENT?!
WAS THERE ANYTHING IMMORAL ABOUT IT?!?

A lot of people complained to GDN (Gulf Daily News) about Deviantart.com being blocked and most of them were artists who have their arts posted on the site. people can get tools for Photoshop like brushes or whatever. After all the hate mail, The Ministry decided to Unblock Deviantart.com from the clutches of the stupid, fucking ugly, Blue, White, Red Screen of Putrid Monkey Shizz.......ok......that was pretty nasty...I'm sorry. >__>


Seriously....let me get to the real point why the whole Internet Censorship started in Bahrain. it actually started a few years ago. The Ministry blocked sites that are I think Anti-Government or Freedom of Speech sites..I don't really know the whole story but that's what I know in my knowledge. anyway, They decided to block those websites once and for all. and hey, why not remove all those nasty websites aswell?. also, why not remove those stupid humor sites that are pretty much pointless to exist on the Internet and is a waste of time for our people to sit hours and hours watching some video about some dancing 3D baby or any shit like that!

Believe me......they will go there.......I would not be surprised if they blocked Newgrounds, YouTube (They already blocked videos flagged 18+ so I bet they're also gonna block the whole thing!), Mini-Clip....actually.......they can have Mini-Clip since it's pretty much a piece of shit anyway :/
back to what I think they think about Censoring the Internet in Bahrain:

Guy 1 from MOI: Ah Fuck! I just lost BD 20 from the online Lottery!
Guy 2 from MOI: Hard Luck my friend.......I know! Just for Revenge, LETS BLOCK THOSE WEBSITES TOO!!

seriously.....what the fuck ever happened to "Freedom of Choice"?

feels like we're in an episode of Big Brother or something >_>

oh and what about those Social websites that pretty much ALL of Bahrain uses.....what's it called? BookFace? Wayh Kitaab? Kitaab Wayh?

oh wait...FACEBOOK!!

FaceBook is pretty much one of the most popular Social websites in the entire world (much better than MySpace and much safer IMO). and lo and behold, LOTS OF PEOPLE IN BAHRAIN USE IT!

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE FUCK WILL HAPPEN IF THEY BLOCK FACEBOOK?!?!!?

THERE WILL BE FUCKING CHAOS EVERYWHERE!!!

But not to worry. There exist OVER 9000 (see what I did there?) ways to bypass THAT FUCKING SCREEN and that's Proxy!

but wait......Proxy sites are also banned!

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU-

oh well....you can always use Hotspot Shield xD

Get it while you still can. you neve know when suddenly, POOF! Facebook, YouTube, Newgrounds, etc.... are gonna get blocked :|



OK......I'm done talking about Internet Censorship.......because To Be Honest, I'm getting bored and tired......

Anyway, if you're on Facebook, I'd check out these groups that are against Internet Censorship in Bahrain:

Article 19 of Decree Law 47!! :S

The website Ban in Bahrain is BULLSHIT

You May Take Our Porn... But You Will Never Take Our Freedom!

The Ministry of Culture/Info Should Stop Blocking Websites
