Forbidden fruits? now, 5 million (and growing) forbidden sites!
Radio Liberty from Europe / Farangis Najibullah 16-Dec-2008 (one comment)
The Iranian authorities, who admit to blocking access to over 5 million websites, have decided to take additional measures to restrict Internet access and crack down on bloggers.
>>>
Alongside Iranian music, news, and political
websites, they have also blocked access to popular foreign sites such
as YouTube and Facebook. In October, an adviser to Iran's chief prosecutor
said more than 5 million antisocial and immoral websites have been
blocked and are no longer accessible in the country.
Most recently, an Iranian dating website, "Hamsarchat," was fined and banned after being accused of promoting prostitution.
The popular website, which claims to be "Iran's most complete spouse-finding website," has been taken to court following a complaint from Tehran's public prosecutor.
