Iran Blocks Google Access
Iran has decided to block access to Google search and Gmail service. This is supposedly part of a “clampdown on material deemed to be offensive” as reported by the Mehr news agency.
Hamid Shahriari, secretary of Iran’s National Council of Information said, ”I can confirm these sites have been filtered.”
Similar to China, Iran has very tough censorship laws banning websites that promote sexual and politically sensitive content. Iran also censors sites discussing women’s rights.
Iran’s latest censorship laws are part of an ongoing clampdown on an internet-savvy society attempting to embrace western ideals and habits.
Will it last? Maybe for a while, but this is exactly what will inevitably bring down the current leadership… but lets wait and see…
