A group of hackers flying the Anonymous flag dumped a list of URLs allegedly blocked by the United Arab Emirates’ Netfilter servers operated by the government’s internet service providers

Most telling, as Anonymous pointed out, is the denial of access to websites relating to VoIP phone services.

The list is long and, fair warning, replete with URLs for pornographic and sex-related websites, including those focused on sexual education. In the same regard, online dating sites were also blocked, and quite extensively at that.

In total, 196 pages from the “facebook.com” domain were blocked.

Perhaps not surprisingly, a substantial amount of the allegedly blocked content pertains to religious and government issues. The list includes 157 links containing the word “Islam,” as well as 50 containing the word “Muslim,” and 22 with the word “Allah.” Similarly, the list contains 17 sites domains containing the term “Christian,” 13 with the word “Jesus,” and nine with the word “Bible.”
