Twitter, Banned in Dubai?

Just got his bit of news from Techtree.


The message reads: “We apologise the site you are trying to visit
has been blocked due to its content being inconsistent with the
religious, cultural, political, and moral values of the United Arab
Emirates.”

Apparently Dubai has blocked the Twitter site, but there’s no indication as to why. There is speculation over governments seeing Twitter as a threat to their sovereignty, but come on. Firstly, this is Dubai, one of the most liberal places in the UAE, also, which self-respecting internet user won’t figure out all the anonymous browsing websites there are out there to get hold of twitter anyway?

This story is seriously dodgy.
