North Korea Foreign blocks access to Facebook and Twitter!

North Korea Foreign blocks access to Facebook and Twitter! -

Kim Jong-Un is back in the driver's seat after mysteriously disappearing from the public eye for about 6 weeks. He returned, but with a walking stick - and an official explanation of his absense, of course, was not given. Some reports say he had an operation to remove a cyst ankle, although I lean more towards the theory that he broke it after gorging on too emmental. But now he's back and he is certainly making up for lost time. Oh, and he no longer walk with a stick, happy days in North Korea! * Sarcasm * intentional

The reports of the Russian news agency TASS emerged that Pyongyang imposed a national ban on Facebook and Twitter. This now means that foreign visitors, diplomats and humanitarian organizations were a small handful of people who could use these sites will not be able to. This is the first time that Pyongyang has blocked foreign access to social media networks, and again, no reason was given for the ban. Whether permanent or temporary ban has yet to be seen.

Recently NGOs, embassies and other foreign organizations were banned from using Wi-Fi, for security reasons. It really looks like Pyongyang is serious crusade to tighten its grip on most communications in the state.

Internet access is mostly inaccessible to ordinary North Korean citizens, mainly those from elite families, universities, and a number of research institutions, factories (probably cheese ), have access to Kwangmyong -. the country that provides intranet content Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) and other approved government propaganda

An interesting article by Tim Urban Huffington Post who visited the country last year was told a north Korean guide "No north Korean people have access to the Internet because the government fears that people would see things that would feel unfairly critical of the West and the government wants to protect the reputation of the West preventing people from going on the Internet. Ah, so they care about us, they block the Internet to protect our good name! It makes sense now.

at HMA ! we all deplore government censorship, which is why we launched our campaign the Riot Pussycat against it. You can show your defiance against dictatorial leaders like Kim Jong-Un publishing cat videos, and photos using #ThePussyCatRiot. You can also buy litter boxes for cats featuring the faces of some of the internets most popular Internet dictators. All proceeds go to the charity Index on Censorship. And do not forget to watch our video 'The Dictator' -. That captures the ridiculousness of these blocks on the sites

I bet Kim Jong-Un can still access an open Internet, and asked "how to beat your addiction to cheese?"
