Somalische ISP dicht wegens 'terrorisme'

<b>Ibrahiem Rasoelbaks</b>:<br />Daar ben ik het nu volledig mee eens...

<b>pieter</b>:<br />de VS is nu zo'n beetje op het hoogtepunt van haar macht, is daardoor erg kwetsbaar en is waarschijnlijk alleen maar (overdreven) bang voor aanvallen, wat voor dan ook.
neemt overigens niet weg dat ze idd wel heel erg de baas spelen.

<b>Kristoffer Nilaus Olsen</b>:<br />The U. S. seem to be cracking down on the (non-American) Internet Service Providers used by suspected terrorists. The Executive Order signed by the President authorises the State Department to "persuade" foreign countries to sanction companies, who (knowingly or unknowingly) provide technological support for terrorists.

It may be YOUR Internet-provider that is shut down by U. S. authorities the next time.

The Executive Order potentially affects any Internet Service Provider to which a suspected terrorist may have subscribed. But of course, American providers such as AOL are not targeted by the U. S. even if suspected terrorists may have had accounts with those companies.
