A shelling shortly after 5.30am (2.30am GMT) killed 16 people at the UN school being used as a shelter for those displaced by the war, a UN official told AFP.

    If you use a proxy and search with a US ip address you can still find what you are looking for as this law is only within EU, it’s a good way to find out who’s seeking these requests and can lead to what’s know as streisand effect.

    People do know that just because you can’t search for something on Google that it hasn’t disappeared from the ‘interwebs’? That Google don’t keep the internet in a box at Google HQ ? That there are other search engines out there ?
