Talk:Mass media in Yemen/Archive 1

Internet monitoring?
I'd like to emphasize the misunderstanding about Yemen's restrictions on the internet usage. Indeed Yemen is a moderate Islamic country but still has to follow the restrict Islamic rules (usually, this is normal in many Arabic and Islamic countries). Among these rules is the misuse of the Internet as opening sexual web sites. Unfortunately, Yemen still lacks for improving some important web sites such as the one I posted as a reference. The reference is a short history about YemenNet, the main Internet provider in Yemen and is under the control of the Yemen's ministry of telecommunications and information technology. If someone understands Arabic, then I'll post the last line in that web reference in Arabic and will also translate it into English to be clarified:


 * Arabic:"حجب ما لا يتفق مع العقيدة و العادات و التقاليد ومع السيادة الوطنية."


 * English translation: Blocking whatever conflicts with the religion, traditions and habits as well as the national supremacy."

This line represents an essential law that (I won't say unfortunately) agrees with most of Yemen's community requirements. For this reason, we can't say that Yemen's government claims it doesn't monitor the Internet usage unless the US source have become the only reliable source nowadays. Personally, I'm from Yemen and understand that Yemen and also many Arabic and Islamic countries are still connecting democracy to the religion in various aspects. I also know that Yemen's government is still exploiting many things (not only the Internet) for its own purposes.--Email4mobile (talk) 20:34, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
