Denied

So over here, there is a huge emphasis on blocking content that is not consistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values. The only other place I have seen this happen is in China. It is actually quite interesting that there is a group/company (I'd imagine) that is responsible for blocking such sites. There have been instances when Facebook, Myspace, YouTube have been blocked.

Also, if you buy certain magazines (GQ for example), you will find several pages that have been edited for content, and by that I mean someone has taken a black marker and blacked out areas of the page. I'd imagine that the person marking all these pages off must get bored going through an entire magazine and blacking out things. That person would not one do this on one magazine, but every copy of it sold here. I am sure GQ is not the only magazine that needs the 'editing'. I wonder if the cost of this persons labor is factored into the cost of the magazine here. :)
