This is a first: the administrative blocking the site islamic-news.info targeted as advocating terrorism. Journalist David Thomson, a specialist in jihadi issues, reported Sunday the first proven case of blocking of a site described as “pro-jihad”.
A user who wants to go to this site now fall on a screen of the Interior Ministry stating: “You have been redirected to the official website because your computer would connect to a page with content causes of acts of terrorism or publicly condoning terrorism” <. /> p>
This website is hosted by OVH, a company based in Roubaix . The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company, Octave Klaba, was surprised on Twitter for not being warned: “Pq nobody notified us LCEN to close the site islamic-news.info? I learned this morning that it has been blocked by the Interior M? “He has written.
First Internet hosting in Europe and third globally, OVH, founded in 1999 by the Klaba family rules over 17 data centers (Roubaix, Gravelines, Strasbourg and Quebec) that host 18 million Internet applications. Sites where OVH, which is only “ technical provider ” can have a look. Nevertheless, OVH has already had occasion to point out that when a illegal content is identified on a site hosted on its servers, it is removed.
The administrative block is a key measure, and controversial, anti-terrorism legislation passed in November by members. It allows an administrative authority to demand publishers or hosts of sensitive sites the withdrawal of illegal content, without the authorization of a judge.
