The government filters the Internet as part of its fight against pornography and has used it to extend censorship well beyond this. The method employed is also sly, since when a user tries to access a banned site, a message comes back saying "bad gateway," instead of the usual "access refused" or "site not found." In June 2005, the websites of two community radio stations very critical of the government were shut down after it pressed their ISP to do so.
