A weird thing called Omantel filter



Omantel’s filter has a new bunny this week –– Google India. The main URL is blocked but various sub links under it are working fine. Reason for the block: the site falls under pornography category. Ditto with some popular Indian blogs (thanks to RSS feeds, life goes on anyways).

I believe the Omantel emplyees are fighting with their "automatic content specific F***ed up filter" to keep them straight !!

PS Its open now.

Still playing hide and seek for me. I suspect something to do with IP issue.

Forget google india, they went ahead and blocked yahoo mail!! They seem to have new definitions for porn once every month or so!
