I was watching BBC World News Monday and they said Sunday night Pakistan blocked Youtube in Pakistan, but then shut it down around the world for two hours.
The story Did anyone try to go on youtube on Sunday and couldn't get on? Just wondering. |

Tamacracker, seriously. If a country decided to force a website to shut down through nefarious means, it's not hard to do. Nothing to do with "rights".
I'll not argue with you, though I do miss the days where you could typingly prawn any who voiced doubts to the contrary. |

Ok, give me a scenario in which a country can shut down a website that's hosted in another country without taking legal action. Please enlighten me. You do realize that cracking is the process of illegally obtaining access to a server or a website right?... And that process is nearly impossible for fact being, you'd need a super computer running about the power of 10 computers only to run 1 program in which finds the proper "encrypted" credentials. And do you know how long that could take up to?... 10 YEARS!!!! Do you know how many times servers change their own security credentials in a year? At LEAST 12 times a year. -.- I wouldn't mind tellin this to the NOC department, I just gotta some how introduce it to them in a jokingly way so they don't think I'm the moron who doesn't know anything about server security and encrypted credentials. P.S. Bold = WRONG. It could be possible that they "block" a website from a country (specifically theirs). But that's all. |
