    Internet users in the UAE reported the fifth highest rate of website censorship out of nearly 200 countries, according to a new project mapping global online restrictions at home and in the workplace.

    The statistics showed that 382 different web pages were flagged as “inaccessible” by UAE users who reported to the Herdict Web project, developed through Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society.
