Egypt prosecutor tells government to block online porn
Reuters: Egypt must block pornographic websites, its public prosecutor ordered on Wednesday, a move likely to be popular with resurgent religious conservatives, but eyed with suspicion by liberals who fear increasing censorship.

Oh so its not tech related... how are they going to block porn? With shipping containers? But one thing is clear, if this happens like it is happening in our country at the moment, VPN companies are in for a lot of Benjamin!
@gadgeek - What I'm saying is that if a user is of the opinion that it's not tech related, then he should use the proper methods to report it. That's what the Lame option is for.
Prosecutor Abdel Maguid Mahmoud is a remnant of the old Mubarak system, a few weeks ago their were protests demanding his resignation after he let men who killed protesters at the start of revolution off the hook.
he can't be fired from his position, the new president tried re-appointing him somewhere else but the prosecutor refused.
this pointless move aims to take some of the heat off him by trying to appease conservatives in the public
This can be difficult task for Egypt to accomplish. Such content is not so easy to be rid of. I don't envy the admins who have to enforce this mandate.
For those with obscenely large HDD... it's a "Firesale" everything must go!!! So grab all that you can - while you can. lol
I really don't see how its even remotely possible. The ability to instantaneously check every piece of content put on the web for pornographic content is absurd. Not to mention attempting to determine whats "porn" and whats "art".
Eventually everything would boil down to government controlled sites and there would still be plenty of ways around that. It's like trying to stop the rain.
