By Blocking Tamilnet.com SLT has

[funnyguy]

Hi,

Edit: People People!! Look!! I'm just saying SLT should have updated its policy page!! Because they are not giving unfiltered access. Now in addition to that you'll must understand that I'm not saying "unblock tamilnet.com" I'm just saying SLT's policy page need to updated as its incorrect.
Now.. please stop overreacting dudes.. I'm not a LTTE guy... I'm anti-LTTE (I can't help that though)

Edit : I'm not saying they shouldn't have blocked it! I'm saying that there steps to take when doing certen things! Could have spent some money on a TV Ad and told its customers of the block!

By blocking access to the tamilnet.com website SLT has voilated its own User Policy. Because they say


Unfiltered Service
We cannot control the content that you will receive, that is we are providing you with
unfiltered access to Internet and SLTNet has no obligation to monitor it either. However
User agrees that SLTNet has the right to electronically monitor the service from time to
time and to disclose such information to any law, regulation or other legal bodies as and
when it's necessary to continue providing proper service or to protect its users.


Its found here! http://www.sltnet.lk/policy.html just incase they decide to update it I took a screenshot. http://csoft-p.no-ip.info/sltpol.png

I think they should have notified there users before they change the policy! After all may be users signed to that agreement! And may disagree with the new one (I'm fine either way hehe).

Why does the goverment want to poke into things like this? If this continues who knows! Elekiri.com might be blocked for having warez links too!! What is happening to our country :( someone save it!! :(



Thanks,
Funnyguy

Chirantha is not a Tamil Name ryt ??? :confused: :confused:

But then why you are doing this.. Eventhough they violated their user policy I beleive they did the correct thing....

There shouldn't be any space in cyberspace for terrorism...

Its just like America blocked Al-Queda web site..

No one can blame them...

But be carefull about what you talk.. I might think you as a fu**** Tiger :cool:

U are correct man even in dubai hi5 is blocked..
look @ china they have the largest firewall only limited no of sites can be seen.
this is not violation....

[Alaya]

This is a very small thing comapred to the violations done by LTTE.

And it is also for the well being of the country.

Can you compare kenda with kanda?

I'm not sure whether U work for an NGO.

[rsanda]

this is not illegel
it says if it is against the law they can do to prevent it
ltte is a prohibitted organization in sl,so there website can b blocked
just think if u hack they can cancel ur account or they will give ur private info
to police if they r asked
:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

And bro... Who are you to question about the policies of the government...???

Atleast do you have the right to vote in Sri Lanka..???

BTW.. There are no warez links in ElaKiri.. But even if they had them, that is not a reason to block a site...

Only reasons for blocking a site are :
1) Nudity, Porn, Sexuality
2) Terrorism
3) Illegal drugs

They have the right to monitor! Not to block... I fell they should have openly blocked the site insted of doing this hidden! And they should step in to change that Policy ASAP. They are filtering the service (blocking a site on the internet so now its filtered access). Never the less I feel that they shouldn't have blocked a site out of the blue!

Noone will complain about the blocking but its not nice to block it like that. And who is gonna belive tamilnet.com anyway????

Since we are paying customers SLT should respect us and :

1. Get the Media to say "Dear customers of SLT, on request of the GOSL SLT has decided to block access to www.tamilnet.com. The SLT policy will be updated upon the blocking, Sorry for the inconvinence caused"

2. Update the Policy : SLT will block any website that is a risk to national security or any other reasonable factor

3. Block the site.

4. Users feel they have been respected.

[funnyguy]

And no, I not a tamil LOL.. I just don't like it when people do things in a REAL hurry!

[jollypappa]

he he... very funny.

Can you create a service company and create a policy that will violate government rules and regulations. Ask from yourself and then read terrorism act. Then you can understand.

[funnyguy]

I'm not saying they shouldn't have blocked it.. But I think they should have done it step by step insted of just taking the quick way!

Firstly do I look like I care about the LTTE? I'm just saying

1. They didn't update there Policy and remove the unfiltered part (they are lying!!!).

2. They didn't inform us of the block and if I didn't come to Elekri I wouldn't know about the block! I would be a stupid ass and yelled "the LTTE server is down!".

So please read the first post again :/ this isn't about the LTTE this is about SLT not following procidures.. And I'm not saying the tamilnet.com shouldn't have been blocked.. I'm saying I/we should have been informed of the block and the policy should have been updated :confused:

[funnyguy]

WTF!! tamilnet.com isn't blocked!!!

Hehe "SLT have right to monitor the traffic but not to block." Man funny idea as your name says about you. ;) Machan people should have something called privacy and ISP also can't listen to the data transfer. They can with a government order but it’s unethical. If they did that they can easily catch few major players who work with those LTTE internet sites. Super easy.

You say SLT should have done that step by step. You mean like they launch ADSL or WiMAX? With press conferences, All media ads etc..? hehe
Anyway internet is not something which is produced by a company(s). It's not under anyone’s control or anyone setup website line you check. Like you have with TV. It has no schedule like they setup the programs you watch it. Its totally open world and SLT or any ISP just giving access to that open world.
Its totally like the society and the world. Government have right to block drugs coming in to country, Illegal weapons, diseases, terrorists etc.. They do that protect the county and the people. So internet also a open world like that false information can leave the country into a disaster like no other things can do.
So don't expect something like special notifications when they stop programs in TV or add new programs. When they change the flavor of your favorite food. Internet is something out of control and it’s same as the society, even more critical.

You say no one believe in Tamilnet, then why worry about it if no one needs it. If you want jokes sites try the google keyword “daily jokes”

Anyway tamilnet not blocked anymore. When it was blocked I saw big notifications in Tamilnet saying they gonna strictly take action about this block with so called international human rights organizations. And they were shouting so much. But now block has been removed but not a single notification in Tamilnet.
They don’t even mention about it. Nice journalism tamilnet. haha

WTF!! tamilnet.com isn't blocked!!!
it is blocked.. and who give a sh*t abt dat..
dtas a good thing:yes:

[funnyguy]

You say no one believe in Tamilnet, then why worry about it if no one needs it.

Well its not about tamilnet.. I was mostly worried that SLT could start a spree of site blockings like this... Also they don't need to have a conference... just a normal TV ad. A news paper ad would have done ok.


And they were shouting so much. But now block has been removed but not a single notification in Tamilnet.
They don’t even mention about it. Nice journalism tamilnet. haha

Who said they did journalism?! ROFL HEHE!! They do bad jokes thats all LMAO!! And I don't visit it often.. like only once this month hehe..

[funnyguy]

it is blocked.. and who give a sh*t abt dat..
dtas a good thing:yes:
It isn't blocked by SLT anymore. May be you are on a different ISP :confused:

Hi,

By blocking access to the tamilnet.com website SLT has voilated its own User Policy. Because they say



Its found here! http://www.sltnet.lk/policy.html just incase they decide to update it I took a screenshot. http://csoft-p.no-ip.info/sltpol.png

I think they should have notified there users before they change the policy! After all may be users signed to that agreement! And may disagree with the new one (I'm fine either way hehe).

Why does the goverment want to poke into things like this? If this continues who knows! Elekiri.com might be blocked for having warez links too!! What is happening to our country :( someone save it!! :(

You know how many srilankan porn sites exist in internet? How many other LTTE sites which supports LTTE by spreading the false information? Non of them are blocked. Government blocks it when its really crucial for the people in the country. Terrorism is the biggest disaster this country facing now and LTTE is a major threat to whole world.

SLT can't do anything violating government’s policies and regulations as jollypappa said.

Anyway these from SLT’s AUP(Acceptable User Policy) and TOS(Terms of Service)

Cooperate Investigations
SLTNet will cooperate with appropriate law enforcement agencies and other parties
involved in investigating claims of illegal or inappropriate activity.

This agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
agreement are governed by the law in force in Sri Lanka without
reference to any principle of conflict of laws. Disputes arising
out of or related to this agreement shall be exclusively subject
to the jurisdiction of the courts of Sri Lanka.

SLTNet has the right to electronically monitor the service from time to
time and to disclose such information to any law, regulation or other legal bodies as and
when it's necessary to continue providing proper service or to protect its users.

In no circumstance will SLTNet be liable for any claims resulting from the use or inability to
use SLTNet services - including, but not limited to, service interruptions, client errors, Internet
connectivity problems, miscommunications, unauthorized access to SLTNet servers, Internet
bandwidth congestion, power failures, vandalism, and natural disasters. SLTNet SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF USE, ETC., EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Try and go to sue SLT in Court. their lawyers have enough points inside their TOS and AUP to kick your case out.

Hay machan don't post adult images or words in Elakiri. :yes:
he is talking in peace so we should discuss this matter. ;)
I think he is not LTTE, Anyway Chirantha Ranmal lets see :D

[Ranhiru]

But i think if its a threat to national security it should be kept blocked! And SLT is not bothered to advertise in the TV just to tell all the people in Sri-Lanka that we are blocking this site! It will cause problems between Tamils and Sri-Lankans!

Ok... this is stupid lol. I thought tamilnet.com was blocked so I thought they might start blocking other sites as well... you know what sites.. sites that give stuff for free ;)

Plus.. I am not completely incorrect.. They must update there policy and say Unfiltered access except for terrorist sites or the law of this country :)

And I'm not a grown up >_> And I'm only saying SLT lied and should have updated that policy page! And no, I am not gonna sue them for it why would I want to? what would I get even if I win?

Quit overreacting.. I just wanted to talk about it.. you people judge me very incorrectly. Saying I like and the LTTE and stuff. The tamilnet.com isn't the problem I was trying to say the SLT didn't update there policy page!!

I am a person that talked with a LTTE supporter and made him understand what the LTTE truly is!! HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW why the LTTE was kicked out of India.

I am anti-LTTE for all I know. But it doesn't matter.. To tell the truth I have done a lot of advertising about the evilness of the LTTE outside the scope of forums.

I can't belive you people react like this... Oh well I guess all Sri Lankan's are like you! That is idiotic :confused:

Seriously grow up.. I talked about SLT not lived upto its policy and should update it and you people call me a LTTE supporting guy... That doesn't make sense at all :(

AND AS GTRZ POINTED OUT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT I GUESS BUT I THINK THEY NEED TO UPDATE THE MAIN "UNFILTERED POLICY PAGE".

Thank you

Well firstly da topic u've chosen for this is a bit outta shape....when every1 sees tamilnet.com 1st....u know what happens....they just over react.....so if u wanna talk abt SLT that's fine.....lets not talk abt tamilnet.com.....da sites nt blocked afterall...u've been a bit too funny & missed that bit out;) :lol:

dear elakiri member funnyguy ,
first of all its better to say that you have a general right to express what you feel and readers have a right to look at you in different views ,but one thing dear member as a sri lankan you should have felt ,the action slt took was not at all wrong or disgusting considering there policy(remember my view ok!!!!) So just one thing dear ,try to feel as a sri lankan.Don't think too seriously about polices.next time be carefull before making a topic or, try express clearly what you feel thats why happened to edit and get rid of the attack getting towards you;) ,,,,,,,
