  Please check Global Voices Advocacy for more updates about the issue:

  Some UAE internet users are confirming that the ban was ordered by the government-owned Etisalat. The Administrator of itihad.net (UAE) called up his ISP’s call center and they stated that they are blocking Facebook.

  Other Internet users, however, are reporting (here [Ar], here [En] and here [En]) they can access the website and that there is no blocking at their end.

  Wonder if the Burmese success in cracking down on access to the internet and the democracy movement has given life to a new burst of blocking on the internet?

  One more case is China and RSS feeds.
