Iran
Takes Aim at
Google, Wikipedia in
Latest Internet Censorship Effort
Google and
Wikipedia appear to be the
Latest victims of Iran's online
Censorship efforts, just two days after the Iranian government repeated — once again — that it's planning to loosen its grip on the Internet.
Iran has reportedly blocked access to a**ther Google service, the hosting platform Google Sites, and censored at least two sensitive
Wikipedia pages in Farsi in the last couple of days. It's unclear at this point if these blocks are government mandated, but if they are, activists think they would expose the Iranian government's double-sided stance on
Internet freedom.
