Did Saudi Arabia Ban Orkut?

Yet another nation has apparently to bar access to Google's Orkut to its citizens as it appears that the forums hosted more than just women without burqa's. Although this was over a month ago, Xo Ail brings us the sad news.

Yes, Orkut is banned in Saudi Arabia. KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) has banned the Orkut Network realizing that it cant attain the possibility of producing or easing pornographic material online.

Saudi Arabia is a country where 99% of the porn sites or sites with absurd content are banned. Its stronger than china, where no proxy surfing or anything of the kinda would work.


Apparently some users have already found ways around the blocks. That's good news to hear, otherwise they would have had to settle for MuslimSpace.com, as Sharia law is enforced there.
