business unaffected by du proxy?

secretdubai.blogspot.com = blocked
wikipedia article on 'fitna' = blocked

He also clarified that business will remain largely unaffected. “Normally business should not be affected because du has only blocked pornographic sites and sites that contain material that is offensive to the moral, cultural and social values of the UAE.
