The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information said

today that the ruling issued by the Administrative Judicial Court on Tuesday, May 12 compelling the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology to ban pornographic websites is characterized by its general terms, since it did not specify the particular meaning of pornographic websites, and even worse, the danger of granting the authority to block to officials of the Ministry of Communication, will necessarily result in the expansion of the policy of blocking and control under the context that these web sites are "pornographic or obscene", which severely threatens the freedom to use the Internet in Egypt.
