Customers (from UAE) who have servers with us in Atlanta - one of the companies I work for, remaining anonymus for the moment - are reporting that their sub-customers and viewers from Syria can't access FTP or download any kind of Flash/video/multimedia content from inside that country. Completely blocked.
Anyone confirms?
Another government blockage to avoid social captiruing of massacre videos and photos?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 And as a follow up on this list: I have one report from one ISP(Sawa) that things are blocked. I am now trying to collect more info to see if it is something implemented at the ISP level or something at the exit points for the entire country. These international connections fall under the control of STE(State Telecom Establishment) and the PDN/PDN2 backbone that they control, which everyone else rides on top of. In the past all blocking was ordered and relayed through STE, but implemented at the ISP level. This resulted in discrepancies and uneven filtering as ISP choose to interpret the rules a little differently, as well as using different to tech to implement the orders from the Syrian Government. If this is a uniform block across all ISPs, then it indicates that STE has stepped in and and taken responsibility. It also indicates that they may have acquired new gear, as they did not have the capacity or skills to take part in such activity in the past. - -Andrew On 5/31/2012 3:01 PM, Eugen Leitl wrote:
