Contact the author
On this feast of sacrifice, the Moroccan authorities have a stab at what appeared to be a policy of laissez-faire on the internet. Pornographic sites to the site of the Polisario, the entire canvas was available in Morocco. Turn made Wednesday with censorship Site Lakome.com in rather vague terms casts a threat to this new-last-some say space of freedom.
After the imprisonment of Ali Anouzla, Lakome.com site manager at the Salt 2 "glorification of terrorism" prison, new jersey the Moroccan authorities new jersey have just dealt a new blow to the sector of electronic new jersey media. By censorship Site Lakome.com, inaccessible from the internet connection of a Moroccan new jersey operators, a warning is sent to all players in the online information. The rules are changing, the end of the recess is called.
This censorship, even if it is behind a decision Anouzla Ali, is directly controlled by the authorities. It is of course legitimate for the owner Lakome to assert his right and get his site. Nevertheless, new jersey restricting access from Morocco does not solve the original problem. In fact any industry expert, lawyer or law on the internet will explain the procedure. The solution is simple: apply (directly or through the courts) to the registrar (managing the domain organization) or its host (the company that leases space or server where the site is hosted) to regain control the website and the temporary suspension as announced by Ali Anouzla.
But it is complicated if it is not the official site owner Lakome.com and has not leased his name hosting space. This is certainly why the path chosen was that of censorship by authoritarian decision. Or if not the owner of the domain name, the prosecutor or the ANRT can only reject new jersey the application Anouzla. Its function editor is not enough to legitimize his property on the site. Responsibility within Lakome could be generated by a simple letter of resignation.
The editorial team of Lakome.com tried quickly to bypass new jersey filtering in Morocco nuveaux activating domain names and lakome.info new jersey lako.me. Rebelote, censorship struck again. If the justification of the first censorship hid behind the preservation of the property Anouzla Ali, new extensions should escape the scissors ANRT. It is also unlikely that the first request to the telecom regulator has included all lakome.xxx extensions. The speed of this new censorship demonstrates the willingness of the authorities to silence the site at all costs, even improvise new jersey and stopping the baseline scenario.
The headlong rush of the Moroccan government does not stop the site Lakome. In addition to not wanting to take this censorship, it has not enjoyed a French website explains in detail the methods and equipment used to carry out this blackout extrajudicial new jersey an information site Morocco. The site has been Reflets.info also blocked by the national operator new jersey in the evening of Friday, a few hours after the publication of the article disturbing.
The evidence leads to a conclusion that this series of censorship is not only a boost given to Ali Anouzla in its different with Abubakr Jamai. It is a clear willingness to use force without the consequences. Within three days the Chérifien kingdom has destroyed any credibility he had managed to build respect for freedom of expression on the internet these past 15 years.
