Twitter Banned in the United Arab Emirates
Twitter is now banned in the United Arab Emirates because its content is “incosistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates“. I guess the fact that Twitter has no content per se doesn’t play a big part here; they’ve basically banned a tool for communication. Twitter now joins the army of other sites banned by the Emirates, most notably Flickr and Facebook.

Don’t forget Orkut which is banned as well. Not too mention Skype that cannot be accessed and downloaded from there.
