[LINK] Monster.com's ban on eight countries

[Chirgwin, Richard]

Linkers,

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/04/28/1051381879285.html

(The original seems to have floated around for a week or so).

This is outrageous: if your address is in the wrong country, Monster.com
doesn't want to hear from you. So if, for example, you're a (say) doctor
working for an aid group in Iran, don't bother trying to register your
resume with Monster.com.

The company sheets this back to US sanctions, which may be true enough. But
either way it's pretty disgusting. Do you think we could just redirect the
rest of the Internet away from America?
