Craiglist ban

Why is Craiglist banned by Etisalat? :-(

maybe because there's a section for "casual encounters" not to mention m4m, w4w, etc...

However, there does exist a Craigslist (it's Craigslist, not Craiglist) for Dubai, accessible through non-Etisalat connections. Not surprisingly it doesn't seem to be overwhelmed with ads.

It is not blocked.

Fix your proxy settings.

blocked for the same reason expatriates.com is blocked...
Lots of nice personals there with pix and numbers... and ermm... quite a few adverts for 'erotic services' with cellphone numbers :/

Because pornographic photos are frequently posted in the "personal" adverts

More interesting why is a Goggle search for dating banned by etisalat but not one for sex?

craig's list must have been banned for the same reason Google's translation service was banned --- it's simply too useful to allow.

You're likely alienating some poor goon from his right to work.
