Such an action raises the question of the education of political
leaders in matters of technology and the internet very
specifically.Who will do this and how to do it?<br>

Interesting how easy it can be for government to just
shut-down any internet resources within their country.... O
yeah...! perhas should be a discussion topic at Baku!<br>
<br>
@Prof Nii as er your query, below is the summary a gathered
from the url provided by SM<br>
<br>
Dotcom unveiled plans last week to re-launch his
file-sharing empire on January 20.....The new site, <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.me.ga/" target="_blank">www.me.ga</a>, was to be hosted on Gabon's
.ga domain...the site was set up to redirect traffic to
another site hosted in France that would provide access to
shared files<br>
<br>
From the above i don't see any "unlawful" act at the moment
(if there is law of Internet). I guess they "ga" only read
history and acted based on that! Perhaps an opportunity to
be on the news ;)<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
