Iran bans blogs Daniel Rodríguez Herrera
judicial authorities Iranian have ordered ISPs to block access of the nationals of the country to services such as PersianBlog , Blogger, or BlogSky BlogRolling. Besides banning the blogs, have expressed concern that the Iranians are using social networking sites like Orkut or Yahoo Personals also preventing its use. It should be noted that the Internet is extremely popular in Iran. is estimated that the Persian is the fourth most used language on blogs, there are about 64,000 in that language by 26,000 in English. They are the third nation with the most users on Orkut, 7% of the total, after Brazil and the United States.
The monopoly that the Islamic regime has kept the media has prevented them appear in the increasingly critical need for the ayatollahs. Intellectuals, academics, writers and journalists have been without means with which to express their ideas, giving rise to a certain apathy that certainly comes in handy to the interests of Islamic totalitarianism in power. It is in this context that the Internet and blogs have become so important in Iran: they are a relatively free and safe place to carry out the political debate that the closure of newspapers and opposition parties has prevented the carrying out by means more traditional. Internet has become Achilles Heel in the control of the dictatorship.
However, Amnesty International, more concerned perhaps video games, has not yet expressed their rejection, your news page is headed by two reports from Guantanamo. In contrast, the U.S. broadcaster for the Voice of America foreign , along with Radio Farda , carry more than a year hiring Anonymizer resources to enable the Iranians to skip his government restrictions imposed on them. Every day, these radios communicate to his listeners the proxy server address through which evade the control government. Routinely, access to them is prohibited, which forces us to change directions and re-emitted by the radio. Therefore, this new twist will not destroy the Iranian blogosphere, just make it more difficult to access it.
