International Internet Censorship

I have some Muslim background and regulary corespond with other women who live in various countries in the Middle east...Iraq, Morrocco, Saudi Arabia, and others. Suddenly, in the last two weeks, I have lost contact with all of them.

I first became aware of internet censorship when I went to Thailand. It seems that the Thai government, will not allow things like Youtube, and several others to be seen in their country.

I fear that part of the reason for the loss of contact with my friends is that in Iran, Iraq, and KSA, there has been a huge crack down on gay activity. One journalist recently wrote an article stating that Islam agravates gay activity because of the strict segregation between men and women.

I am really concerned for my friends; all genetic women, because of the posibility of their contact with me could be a big problem for them. I feel so bad.
