Being that my site is blocked while countless other sites with questionable content are not suggests that the main reason Apple decided to ban me is because I was critical of them in the past. My iPhone article has been read over 5.5 million times as of this writing, and was at one point one of the most shared articles on the Internet. The article was so popular that it even got linked to from within Apple itself (I saw links in my access logs coming directly from the *.apple.com domain). So my criticism definitely got their attention. And now they're censoring me because they feel threatened by me.[/quote]
[quote]Speaking of threats to tyranny, I received reports a long time ago about my website being banned in the United Arab Emirates. So I flew to the country and checked it out myself. My site is indeed banned. This is a screenshot I took in Dubai:

I love you maddox in the most homosexual way.
go go gadget Streisand effect
I hope I'm not the only one who has no idea who this guy is and what article he's talking about.
Late as possible... and I feel like this guy is as old as the internet basically, everyone should know who he is.

I'm as clueless as you. Don't worry.
He's still active?
Holy shit how long has it been? At least as long as google has been around?
I still remember him from 2006, I thought he went AWOL a long time ago.
Good to see him still kickin', not too many old legends have stayed the same.

Maddox isn't as offensive as he used to be, dangit.

His archive goes back to 1997 so yeah. His site predates google.

uncultivated internet plebs
Maybe not offensive anymore, but he does have a lot of good points. Very 'George Carliny.'
Maddox was offense when I was 12 and what's this?

He isn't? I haven't kept up with him in a while, please elaborate.

Read his stuff from 2006 and older, then open stuff from this and last year.

Wait, he found it cheaper to fly out to Dubai than use a VPN?
Also, page is banned in Qatar, wouldn't be surprised if it is in most of the Middle East as they tent to follow each others leads on which pages to block.

He found it cheaper to check while on vacation, yes.

Let me guess, you're one of those people who are offended by what Maddox writes?

Actually this would be the reverse of the Streisand effect.

I wish he would update his site more often.

I used to think this fucker was serious.
Wasn't he on Penn and Teller's Bullshit once?
IIRC it was about old people

They're both related, he went through a huge custody case for his kid, his website was used against him.
What's so special about this guy? He's funny at time but mostly the satire articles, when he writes serious ones he end up looking like an ass.
