Iran Slows Internet Access Before Student Protests
RiffRafff writes "Iran is at it again, pre-emptively slowing or cutting Internet access before anticipated student protests." From the article: "Seeking to deny the protesters a chance to reassert their voice, authorities slowed Internet connections to a crawl in the capital, Tehran. For some periods on Sunday, Web access was completely shut down — a tactic that was also used before last month's demonstration. The government has not publicly acknowledged it is behind the outages, but Iran's Internet service providers say the problem is not on their end and is not a technical glitch."
Clearly if I'm getting a frist psot on /. then they've gotten to us to!

Above: Authorities take Ronald McDonald away after they find evidence of his crimes against humanity. Crimes including. Hitler-esque, ritualistic slaughter of millions of animals, Subliminally tricking parents into feeding absolute garbage to their children, and posing as someone who gives a fuck about anything other that "a few billion more sold."
In short,

I would have been first but I'm posting from Iran.
Um... living in the US is fantastic and we enjoy more freedom than most of the world.
If so, that would explain everything.
Aw, come on man, carpet bombing is good clean fun
Right up there with dropping a nuke on someone else's city

They're doing it wrong.
they should encourage p2p software use, increase the bandwidth, then everyone will stay home watching lost or house.
VLC FOR MAC IS DYING! IF YOU DEVELOP, PLEASE SAVE IT!!
You are aware that the US has been running terror attacks inside Iran ever since the Bush administration, right?
No, we are not aware of this. I suspect after you enlighten us, we will find that you aren't aware of any such attacks either.
Yea, but then what would you call a revolution? Putting down your teacup with a clatter, standing up abruptly, saying in a stern voice "Good DAY to you sir!" and storming out?
I hate printers.
The winning one?
Not the Ayatollah
Not the Guardian Council.
Not Ahmadinejad
The Jews leasing the pipe to Iran decided that the surge of traffic last time could have brought them a few more little pennies and in anticipation to this current surge sent extortion letters to Iranian ISPs demanding lots more money. Like Jews do, always with the money. Iranians do not want to know that cockroach Jews control the Internet as well as all banks and businesses so the ISPs just told the Jews to fuckoff and the story was never released by the media. At least you can depend on Iranians not to be Jew puppets unlike fat American pigs.
NUKE ISRAEL AND LET THERE FINALLY BE A HOLOCAUST FOR REAL!
Freedom of speech? You can hardly show tits on TV.
I don't know what boobs are like where you are, but most of the ones here don't talk. Except the ones in office, and we can't get them to shut up.
