Iran Shutting Down Google Gmail

ahmadinejadThey’re going into full-on lockdown mode.

Iran’s telecommunications agency announced what it described as a permanent suspension of Google Inc.’s email services, saying instead that a national email service for Iranian citizens would soon be rolled out. It wasn’t clear late Wednesday what effect the order had on Google’s email services in Iran.

Repressive regimes like this can’t persist in the modern age, I think. The pace of change will be glacial, but the digital walls will be cracked.

    Seems that Muslims are either blowing themselves up during the daytime or “banging away” at some poor jackass in a field at night in the name of Allah.
