Iran Set To Block Access To Google

Posted by timothy on Sunday September 23, 2012 @11:57AM from the haraamph-haraamph dept.

legolas writes "The official state online censorship body in Iran has reported that Google and Gmail are going to be blocked effective immediately, ostensibly in response to the contentious videos that YouTube is hosting. This comes as Iran is preparing the launch of their 'Halal' intranet to replace the current direct (albeit highly censored) access to the global Internet. While there have been several state-organized protests for the film 'Innocence Of Muslims' in Iran, the public in general doesn't seem bothered by it."

I don't know about the above jibber-jabber, but it seems like Iran didn't take lightly to google being a monopoly in Europe.
