I am proud to say that in 2008 my country knocked this puny website off the interwebs in a bid to censor it within the country. They accidentally hijacked the global IP addresses[0]
I am also proud to say that my country left the domain for their original Internet Exchange Point[1] unregistered. Guess who scooped it up?
PS. My country is Pakistan.

- jlgaddis 8y agoI was going to link to the video of a Dyn employee (Todd whatshisname) doing a parody of American Pie about this -- "The Day The Youtube Died" -- but the only link I have to the video is on Youtube. :/ Here are the lyrics [0] instead, you'll just have to sing it to yourself.

- Grazester 8y agoWell everyone here seems mighty proud of censorship. Its too bad when Google themselves want to do it in China everyone loses their shit!
- amingilani 8y agoI guess the sarcasm in my original post wasn't obvious enough. But, yes، that was sarcasm۔ I'm also suing the Pakistani Federal Government to hand over a list of censored internet resources as part of a FOIA request. The hearing is tomorrow [0], wish me luck!
