Iran cuts off blogging and social networking
Posted on:: January 7th, 2005
Hoder reports that Iran has cut off access by Iranians to all blogging services and some social software sites, including Orkut. As Dan Brickley writes, “There go 65,000+ Iranian blogs (per blogcensus) and 7%+ of Orkut’s user base, in a flip of a switch.” Hoder suggests some actions we can take, including having the EU and US demand an end to Net censorship during their negotiations with the government.

In addition to confirming this report, I’d like to thank my dear friends, including Dan, who have been so kind as to take proper actions to let us Persian people have free access to the internet.
I’d like to add that it’s not just Orkut that has been blocked for us, we can’t even visit certain scientific webpages! Such as some pages at Ntional Geographic web page, which is a well-known site.
Do you not agree that surfing the net is something quite personal and private? Using a home computer and surfing the net is considered dangerous to the governing body of Persia!
One has to wonder: What are they up to and why are they so afraid of people getting in touch with others!?
Please help us and let us free again.
Stay Beautiful,
Nightingale Zephyr
PS. There is also a possibility that they might even block our email accounts and any sort of communication with you kind and friendly people,
so please help us in whatever way you see fit.
