One of the two major ISP's in the United Arab Emirates is to begin censoring the Internet immediately.

du, which is 40% owned by the Federal government, will commence blocking non-conforming sites on Monday.

The second major ISP provider in the country, Etisalat, is already banning objectionable sites.

du subscribers were notified mid-afternoon Sunday by a general-circular text message to their cell phones, which said 'sites that do not conform to the moral, social and cultural values of the UAE,' will be blocked as of Monday.
