NEWS FLASH

Iran blocks Google | Iran cut off access to Google and its related suite of applications, including Gmail, this weekend less than a week after it was reported they have the basic infrastructure for a closed national intranet in place. The Iranian Students’ News Agency claims the ban is a result of Google’s refusal to remove the Islamophobic film that resulted in outrage from some parts of the Muslim community from YouTube.
