I'm writing this post but I'm not pretty sure if I'm going to be able to read it. The Saudi government suddenly and with no explaination decided to block all the blogs hosted by the BlogSpot service.
The Internet services offered for in Saudi Arabia for the first time in 1998. And since then, the KACST, the government body responsible for controlling Internet content, has blocked millions and millions of sites without any kind of clear policy about them.
I can understand blocking porn, violence or any offensive content. I can understand that there are some evil blogs which are rare compared to plenty ofgood blogs out there. If you have got a box filled with fine apples, and there is one single rotten apple among them, do you get rid of the whole box or just the rotten one? This is something I cannot understand!
I don't think that KACST would need a technical miracle to block what they consider as bad blogs instead of blocking the whole BlogSpot domain. They had done it before when they blocked Yahoo! Groups while other Yahoo! services retained availabel.
I've tried to contact KACST through their unblocking form several times, but they did not reply until now.
Please, healp me to liberate my blog and thousends of good blogs by contacting KACST through their website or using this email address: webmaster@isu.net.sa
Freedom for BlogSpot!
