Iran förbjuda Yahoo Messenger?

Iallfall enligt Hoder.

In no other country but Iran you'll hear politicians use "Orkut" and "Yahoo Messenger" in their sentences.

Nasser Nassiri, a radical MP last week called for a ban on Orkut and Yahoo Messenger, both extremely popular among Iranians, and suggested the parliament will start work on a bill to officially ban them. As always, the reason was to destroy the ethical foundations of the society.

Now another radical but connected MP, Emad Afroogh, who is the chair of the cultural committee of the parliament, has officially denied that they are going to ban Orkut and Yahoo Messenger.

However, people's comments have it that the Iranian Telecom has already filtered Orkut. OpenNet initiative guys have confirmed it in an email to me.

Det som är kul är att hur man än lagstiftar kommer det alltid att finnas ny teknik och nya lösningar att kringå politikernas lagar. Det är bara att välja en ny chatfunktion.
