You can see the Sun in Abu Dhabi

Some dispute after Monkey yesterday reported the problems accessing the Sun website in Abu Dhabi. Not so, says the Abu Dhabi minister of interior's office. You can even access the Sun's sex map of the world , it says. However, intrepid former Times journalist Dan Sabbagh has been testing the limits of internet acceptability in the Gulf state. He reports : "Access to page 3 is currently blocked, a warning note says, because "this site falls under the prohibited content categories of the UAE's internet management policy". Here's the policy if you wanna read it and amongst the banned items are internet content featuring "pornography and nudity". Sabbagh adds an intriguing postscript: "Those who tried last night said they couldn't get the Sun. So maybe there is more openness *today*."
