Imaginense. Un regimen tan DEBIL que tiene que prohibir a sus subditos
(no ciudadanos) que envien un email via Google.

Ya se viene la Revolucion a Iran. La juventud ODIA a los mullahs y pronto
los veremos colgados de las gasolineras como Mussolini.

Iran blocks access to Google

1 hour ago

TEHRAN (AFP) ? Iran has blocked access to the Google search engine and
its Gmail email service as part of a clampdown on material deemed to be
offensive, the Mehr news agency reported on Monday.

"I can confirm these sites have been filtered," said Hamid Shahriari, the
secretary of Iran's National Council of Information.

He did not explain why the sites were being blocked. Google, Gmail and
several other foreign sites appeared to be inaccessible to Iranian users
from Monday morning.

Iran has tough censorship on cultural products and internet access,
banning thousands of websites and blogs containing sexual and politically
critical material as well as women's rights and social networking sites.

The rules are applied by Internet Service Providers who use filtering
programmes to prevent access to the banned sites.

The programmes work by honing in on key words which trigger the blocking
of a site, which means that some perfectly anodyne sites are inaccessible
as well as more sensitive ones.

The filtering aims to prevent Iranians from accessing decadent material
posted abroad, a similar goal to the ban on satellite dishes which are
subject to period crackdowns.

Iran is in the midst of one of its toughest moral crackdowns in years,
which has already seen thousands of women warned for failing to obey
Islamic dress rules.
