US Eases Internet Export Rules To Iran, Sudan, Cuba
coondoggie writes "Looking to facilitate what it calls free speech rights in countries that don't look favorably at such liberties, the US government today said it would ease the regulations around exporting Internet-based applications to Iran, Sudan and Cuba. Specifically, the Treasury Department said it would add general licenses (PDF) authorizing the exportation of free, personal, Internet-based communications services – such as instant messaging, chat and email, and social networking – to those three countries. The amendments also allow the exportation of related software to Iran and Sudan, the department said in a release (the US Commerce Department controls software exports with Cuba). Until now all such exports would have broken federal laws."
Next time, please do try to write something worth reading...possibly making a point.
Claiming a "yada-yada fail" is a wonderful meme - but you're rapidly devolving into a troll with it.
And if your original reply had anything more valuable to contribute than a "I'll be clever by latching onto the fact of generalization and not the content", followed by a statement of general ennui, I'd love to hear it. I really would.
