Twitter Gets Banned in the United Arab Emirates




Twitter has joined the hallmark of social media sites banned by the United Arab Emirates due to its content being inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates. With this ban, the UAE has decided that its residents shall tweet no more.

The disabling of social networks is becoming increasingly popular. According to Mashable, YouTube experiences country-wide bans with a fair degree of regularity (Beijing, Thailand, Morocco, Australia, and others). Also, MySpace and Facebook have gotten so big that they don't bother about the number of countries that ban them.

But whether or not these social media sites are banned or blocked, as the case may be, users would continue to be loyal to them.
