Pornographic websites are to be banned in Egypt following a court ruling that adult material is immoral and that society should be protected from it. A similar ruling was given three years ago, prior to the ousting of Hosni Mubarak, but was not enforced. Human rights activists argue that the proposed ban is a violation of freedom of information, while internet specialists note that it is almost impossible to implement. A similar ruling was overturned by Tunisa’s highest court in March.
