Etisalat Unblocks The Sun
December 29, 2005Etisalat yesterday unblocked the web site of the UK’s most popular newspaper, The Sun.
The company had blocked the web site following “requests from members of the public”. Web sites can be blocked if they are deemed offensive
The Sun told 7DAYS its website had been blocked due to pictures of “Colleen McCloughlin [fiancee of footballer Wayne Rooney] that were too hot for some unnamed politicians and a couple of residents even though she was pictured in some frilly dress.”
