    Iran blocks BBC Persian website

    The BBC says the level of traffic to the site from within Iran has dropped sharply over the last three days.

     

    No official explanation has been given. The BBC has expressed concern at the action, saying it deprives many Iranians of a trusted source of news.

     

    The BBC said it would be approaching the Iranian government at an official level about re-instating access.

     

    BBC Persian.com is the most popular of the BBC's non-English language websites, receiving about 30 million page impressions a month - about half of which are from inside Iran.

    i mean what can you say to that ....... ya its fucked up that they would go to such extremes but its not like none of the other governments do the samething to its civilians and its not like its not done all the time in remakes in history books and from the one sided views of all news groups that seem to only show onesided views half the times....... its not really being able to call it censorship but more of anything from all that i spoke on ... that its a form of brainwashing , getting to grow them up to only know one way and thats your way
    Any Windows problems is easly fixed with a gun or baseball bat ......
