Endangered Countries On The Internet
Vande writes "Balkanalysis.com has an article about Macedonia being driven towards internet extinction as a result of some blacklists, which also include Bulgaria and Romania. Namely, this poorly written quote from the 'export bureau' (non-gov org) states the reason for being blacklisted: 'Pay close attention to shipping or contact addresses located in countries with a high reported incidence of online fraud and many e-commerce web sites have found a high incidents of on-line fraud as well, such as Africa, Nigeria, Macedonia, Colombia, etc..' They must have lost the stats on fraud from Russia, Israel and the USA itself, because Macedonia's negligible internet population cannot possibly account for that much trouble. Cutting off an entire country only hurts the legitimate users. And I thought all this time I was surfing the 'World Wide' Web :/"
Man, I sure hope you brought your asbestos suite.
Just a note to whoever modded my parent post "flamebait", while you're perfectly entitled to do so, this post was my genuine opinion and not just a troll. I found the article to be lacking in content and overflowing with inadequately justified claims, simple as that.
This is modded is modded Interesting!? Who the fuck found him telling people to leave their country because HIS countrie's stores are screwing them over interesting? This problem is because of American stores. Yet people living in Bulgaria should the fix the problem. Riiiiiiiight. This will be modded a troll and considering the people who modded the parent I think I'm glad.
