Iran Shuts Down Google, Will Completely Cut Citizens Off the Internet

[Occam's Banana]

However, I bet the real motivation is probably more along the lines of preventing CIA instigated revolts and rebellions.

Now they cannot see our intense efforts to stop the war.

Iran has been trying to shut down YouTube and Google for a while. Then this shitty 14 minute "movie" comes out, then Iran says "public demand" forces them to shut dwn these websites. Seems convenient.

Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iran blocked YouTube and its owner Google over the weekend because of an inflammatory movie trailer about the Prophet Mohammed that has infuriated Muslims in many countries around the world.

The sites were blocked "because of public demand," Iran's semiofficial Mehr news agency said Monday.

"Google and YouTube continued to carry the film clip that insulted our people's sacred beliefs," the agency said, citing an unnamed source in Iran's Internet Authority....

...Kamran Saghafi, of the High Council for the Internet in Iran, warned Iranians not to try to access the sites.

"Internet users must voluntarily stop using those services and must not even try getting connected, even if it is just to see if they can succeed," Mehr quoted him as saying.

Have you maybe thought of the idea that Iranian government is being hacked and needed to stop it somehow? Im sure they are being hacked because our gov is allover their turf and in their airspace.

Sure are a lot of bull shit stories about Iran right now.

I don't blame him for trying to clamp down on some of the incoming attacks.

By YouTube? Even they admit that they are shutting the site down because this video insulted the prophet.

What does it take for liberty minded folk to support censorship and a government shutting down the internet. I get that they may not be as bad as neo-cons say but damn they're not God either. Some things they do can be criticized. We don't need to make excuses when they shut down websites or imprison people for changing religions.

You can oppose war without putting these people on a pedestal.

Yes why blame them for shutting down websites they don't like?

What would you call people who would support the US government shutting down websites?
