I want to show you some obstacles that some countries face them every day.
For example when users from Sudan trying to access some web site they will get a *Forbidden Access Error* message.
And some messages say: you are forbidden to access this web site because your IP address appears form country black listed due to USA government policy.
I would like to issue a question here, who controls this Internet?
No one. To be more clear, no on person, company, government, or any other entity controls "the Internet". Not even ICANN. Also, I am interested in examples of sites that the US gov't has blocked or otherwise somehow limited access. Please exclude sites owned by the US gov't itself. (Any entity which owns a web server can configure the ACLs on that sever however they plz as far as I'm concerned.) -- TTFN, patrick
