Ogero blocking some pornography?

Raficoo

This is ridiculous though, since Ogero has a "Parental Protection" feature that can be turned on/off, This should apply just for those who want the filter and not those who want to open most legal sites on the web freely, but this is Lebanon so...

So Sehnaoui blocked casinos, and Harb blocked porn. I wonder what's next.

The casino block can be easily bypassed via HTTPS, this however doesn't seem to work with it.

true, even if ogero blocks porn on the internet, you think that will stop minors from getting it? when I was a minor me and my friends didn't even have internet, we got it from each other and many shops we knew that sold them, and we used to buy and trade...the easiest way is to torrent it...

As you can see that the one who requested to know block the websites is not the minister of telecom. It is directly coming from النيابة العامة. It is clear that there is a criminal issue that caused this block.

After all, who wants his kids to watch pornographic material? At least think about your families, your children, your women who might, mistakenly, see such bad scenes.

Obviously, this is the reason why they blocked it: http://www.lebanondebate.com/details.aspx?id=180150

Could you please translate this to us ? Some of us can't understand literary arabic. Google translate doesn't make any sense.

Shortly, Manchester Interpol told Lebanon Interpol that those websites are publishing videos containing child molestation, and those videos are being uploaded from Lebanon. And some are being sold directly to Manchester.

The Lebanese guy that was/is doing it is under investigation.

Here's a hasty translation.

The reason why a number of pornographic websites are blocked in Lebanon.

The general manager of the Telecom Ministry Abdel Menhem Youssef has issued a decision to block access to several pornographic websites. Security sources have told Lebanon Debate that the demand originated from Interpol offices in Manchester which contacted Interpol Beirut which in turn contacted the cybercrime unit of the Internal Security Forces in Lebanon. The demand revealed that pornographic sites are publishing videos containing child pornography and filmed in Lebanon and exported abroad, in particular to Manchester. This was determined after a long and meticulous investigation.

Furthermore, sources told Lebanon Debate that the Lebanese person responsible for this issue has been arrested. It appears that the person was responsible for publishing the videos but wasn't involve in filming in any way. The 6 websites hosting the videos containing child pornography have been blocked, in Lebanon and abroad.

My opinion: utter bullshit...

geekevo

Why block them only in Lebanon? Why not takedown the sites or at least block them on major isps from other countries?
Edit: Can access the websites from Cyberia

Obviously the listed website are accessible outside Lebanon so the claim quoted by rahmu is not totally true.

You know they're lying when they say things like that.

The websites are back on ! Now I can finally finish my research.

Ha, yeah, you finish.

The child porn allegations are actually not bullshit. xvideos has been one of my preferred websites for finishing my research and I remember several times going on there in the past and reading notes left by the mods about how child pornography is illegal and how any uploader will be traced and have his/her details given to the relative authorities. I think there actually was a problem on there for a while.

If the government was actually blocking them because some dumbass parents didn't want little Ziad to watch "ze bad tings on ze google" then the government is a jackass. There are countless porn sites and countless ways to get across any blocked ones anyway.

Also, yes, xvideos is back online.

ramy58

I remember there was also a ton of "rape" videos, but then xvideos just completely deleted any video with the word rape in its title.

rolf

Child pornography is a problem on any site where users can upload porn videos, and it was (and still is) a problem on P2P networks. It is a problem of course on onion sites where users can upload stuff while not being traceable.
Most persons are decent and will try to help against it for example if there are links to the said sites that contain child porn users would add a warning saying that it might contain child porn and you should probably not click on it unless you're a pervert; Tor search engines would filter out child porn. Stuff like that.

Raficoo

Seems like they're blocked again

Use Tor network, or use a VPN access to what you want you can get free VPN connection with freevpnaccess.com
and some other applications like ghostvpn available for windows and android
and if you are still facing trouble download your stuff using torrents :P

hint: you do not need tor browsing and experts configurations to handle problems facing plugins,flashplayer and slow connections use tor to better search for websites not indexed by google
you can also use the duckduckgo.com website which is a great search engine
