Google is filtered in Iran?!

This may sound unbelievable, but in the latest round of filtering internet sites in Iran, google.com and many of its services have been filtered. The filtering is not limited to a single ISP, and users in many cities who use different ISPs are experiencing the same. Even Gmail is not left out, and many users cannot even access their email accounts.

Aside for almost every political Persian language site, many popular sites such as Wikipedia and youtube are also filtered in Iran.

If you can read Persian, you can go to this link on Balatarin.com (which is the Persian equivalent of Digg) and read the latest news about this problem.

Note: Click on the photos to enlarge them.

If you feel interested in any of them and want to get the original file, please don't hesitate to email me!
