Live in Iran today? Use Gmail or Yahoo. At least concerning the latter, who doesn’t? If you fulfill both requirements however, chances are you’re beginning to notice (if you haven’t already) that Gmail and Yahoo (as well as many other English language sites) have been given the ‘ol heave ho from the digital pipes flowing in and out of Iran. The latest crackdown appears to be a signal that another wave of arrests and oppressive government control is about to be unleashed. Also of interest, news agencies have received word from the National Security Council to NOT publish anything concerning fraud, opposition, or Musavi. While we all know censorship is bad and only increases those trying to get around it, it seems the people in power just don’t quite get that. As usual with such “sensitive” issues, RT away.
