The “not so” Great Firewall of Ethiopia (or is it?)
Meles and Co. controlled ETC is acting like a 10year old who just learned how to use magnifying glass to torture bugs.There are rumors that the Chinese are involved in this censorship fiasco, which I highly doubt. To my knowledge, the Chinese are the best in the business. The Great Fire Wall of China, although not perfect, it the biggest attempt to filter web content in a country with the second largest internet access. To say china is involved in this half-arsed censorship (see comments on previous post) is an insult. Computer savvy friends tell me “the ethionet server can be hacked with a pocket calculator”.
Reporters with out Borders have asked for an explanation from the government. heh! I will give my first born if they get a straight answer.
- Always keep a large towel and flip-flops nearby;
- Practice how to take beating;
- Familiarize your self with the rules of ‘Yeshama’; and
- Send a nice photo to Ethan Zuckerman to make a badge that reads ‘Free so-and-so…’
