Iran blocks Google, Gmail!
Market reports suggest that the Iranian government has now blocked access to Google search engine and Gmail webmail service in the country.
This block is part of their efforts to block access to material deemed to be offensive on the internet.
The news was reported in an article on the Mehr news agency. Hamid Shahriari, the secretary of Iran’s National Council of Information was quoted as saying: “I can confirm these sites have been filtered.”
The government is also known to have blocked access to thousands of websites and blogs containing sexual and politically critical material in the past.
This is similar to how the government in the country has banned satellite dishes.
