Internet censorship has been heading the news in Jordan lately, and Jordanian's are at crossroads on whether it is a step forward in the right direction, or the opposite way around. While some see it as abiding to the basic norms of Islam and as means to protect the younger generation, others see it harmful to the Jordanian economy at-large and the Jordanian IT sector in specific. For those of you who might not know, Amman is considered the Silicon Valley of the Middle East (at a mush smaller scale of course).<br>
<br>The current ICT Minister is an ex Air Force General, and he is pushing for it. While he is respected for his hard work and dedication to the Jordanian ICT sector, he might have wanted to push for the law differently as he might have not done enough consultations to come out with such a decision.<br>
