Iran Shuts Down US Virtual Embassy

Posted by samzenpus on from the close-it-down dept.

bonch writes "Less than 12 hours after the U.S. launched a virtual embassy for Iran, the Iranian government blocked access to the website, directing visitors to a government page proclaiming the site illegal. The White House condemned the move, calling Iran's internet policies 'an electronic curtain of surveillance and censorship around its people.'"

    Again with the anonymous call? Are you going to come over with a bunch of uneducated hicks, all your guns, in your pickup trucks (also known as the US army) once you know who we are?

    Essentially all you're trying to do is put down anyone with a viewpoint different to your own, having successfully been brainwashed by your own media.

    The fact that you've got no argument except that 'America's Great' and 'You're Anonymous', isn't really working so far, is it?
