Boingboing Censored in United Arab Emirates

And its finally happened… I knew the day was not far…. :(

The sole ISP in this country, which happens to be owned by the government has blocked boingboing.net Apparently boingboing is disseminating information that is " inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates. " 

Please email me so if you post this on boingboing, so I can VPN to the office back home and read about this on boingboing… Till then I guess am stuck with fark.com which am sure is next. :(

PS – Please remove all personally identifiable information from the screenshot, cause I don’t want to end up in jail. Yes they do put people in jail for attempting/bypassing their proxy.
