A perfect example of the Internet treating censorship as damage and routing around it.

A perfect example of the Internet treating censorship as damage and routing around it.
- nir 16y agoatdhetv.net is an example of the net routing around censorship. Aljazeera.com just demonstrates that when you are funded by an oil rich emirate you can easily afford to provide "free and unlimited streaming options to all". If Oman bought CNN tomorrow, you'd probably get that for free online as well. (In fact, considering AJ's success and western media's woes, maybe Oman buying CNN isn't so outlandish)
- baltcode 16y agoFrom what I know, Oman isn't that rich, just a little more well off than most of the developing world. GDP per capita US = 46k, Singapore = 36.5k, Qatar = 70k, Oman = 16k.
- dman 16y agoWon't YouTube, live stream etc gladly take on the distribution part of the equation if CNN etc were to consider going towards unlimited streaming?
- tvon 16y agoWell, the internet treats "things people don't want" as damage and routes around it, censorship is just one of those things people don't want.
