So they are now going to offer the US another excuse to invade (and tptb were doing so well on their own). Now we can liberate their citizens from internet censorship. Iran usually plays their cards better than this. We all know the only ones who should be allowed to isolate their citizenry from internet evils are the benficent leaders in America. Only they know what is best (for the sake of the children ya know).

they h8 us for our internetz?

Do Iranians by the majority support their leadership in a war with Israel and the west?

 

[Petar]

Iran is run by a bunch of opium addict Mullahs who like to fuck little boys.

I'm pretty sure that the they are corrupt enough to be in on the whole NWO/Armageddon thing.

Oops, did I say that out loud?

The biggest reason to shut down the internet would be to stifle coordination of an uprising of sorts.

Yeah. The article implies it is also to be able to make internal propoganda more effective, so citizens don't see alternative information.

Do you have any idea what the Iranian general public thinks of war with Israel and the west?

 

[kathy88]

That's it. They fucked with Google. War time, baby.

That's it. They fucked with Google. War time, baby.

Of course every time China fucks with Google, the USA does nothing.

What sort of things do you keep to yourself? LOL don't answer that.

 

[squarepusher]

So they blocked gmail, or completely cut off the internet? The article states both, but they seem to contradict eachother.

 

[Zippyjuan]

They are blocking Google for now and are setting up plans for their own "internet"- disconected from the rest of the web. Article says that might be ready as soon as 2013. Iran has a very highly educated young population who like the West and rest of the world- they will find ways around it if they can.

This time they are planning to take everyone off the grid and into their own government-controlled corral. People are not longer going to be able to use virtual private networks to bypass governmental censorship and access information freely.

The deputy communications and technology minister Ali Hakim-Javadi says the operation is already under way: "In recent days, all governmental agencies and offices... have been connected to the national information network."

Officially, every Iranian will be in this cage by March 2013 but the government has not announced yet when they will effectively shut down access to the internet.

Google declined to remove "The Innocence of Muslims" from Youtube after at the Obama Whitehouse suggested they do so. It wouldn't be surprised if Iran used that Youtube clip as an excuse. However, I bet the real motivation is probably more along the lines of preventing CIA instigated revolts and rebellions.

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

Sounds like Washington DC has been trading with IRAN... Implementing Obama's "Kill Switch" and DHS Zionut Cyber-terrorist SOPA/PIPA/CISPA 1984 bills.

[squarepusher]

I will believe it when I see it, for a country like Iran to compltely shut itself off the internet.

 

[jbauer]

That's it. They fucked with Google. War time, baby.

Naa, we're going to have to do several months if not years of government studying to see what the effective profit or loss was to google. Then after we've spent many millions if not billions on reports that are BS we'll then spend Trillions bombing inocent citizens.

 

[BlackTerrel]

That whole shitty "innocence of Muslims" movie worked well for the people in iran who wanted to shut down the internet didn't it?

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

I will believe it when I see it, for a country like Iran to compltely shut itself off the internet.

Ever heard of North Korea?

 

[cindy25]

Iran and North Korea are completely different. North Korea has always been totally controlled by the Kim dynasty. they really believe in their dear leaders. but Iran has a vibrant educated middle class. if you look at old videos of pre-1979 Iran it looks not much different from pre-1979 California. at some point they will revolt and take off the burka
