The Iranian regime has been an enemy to freedom of speech for decades
but on Sunday, September 23, 2012 they still surprised many by
announcing that they would begin filtering Google and Gmail. An Iranian
official said this was due to a request by the public to oppose an
anti-Islam film on YouTube that many see as blasphemous (Google owns
YouTube). Meanwhile some speculate that the true reason for blocking
Google has more to do with promoting the so called Iranian “national
internet” which was supposed to become operational on 22 September, but
has so far not appeared.
