Title: Yahoo Argentina bans Diego Maradona
Post by: ghanimah on Wednesday, November 12, 2008, 08:50:40
How bizzare, the country's most famous face and national team coach is banned from Yahoo and Google results in Argentina.

The first sign of a dodgy judicial system.

Just went on to Google.ar and searched for Diego Maradona, even selected "paginas de Argentina".  No results eh?

True on Argentinian Yahoo though.

Actually no it isn't

Your IP isn't from Argentina though so I doubt it would kick in the filtering.

When I first searched on Yahoo it came up with that message but I clicked on a Maradona news link then all of the normal sites come up.

You're probably right about the IP thing though!
