Big Brother is still with us.
He just won't go away.
Iran has blocked the main addresses of the whistleblower site WikiLeaks. In doing so, it has crossed an important human rights line
A middle-sized developing country, such as Iran, which is faced with wealthy adversaries, may argue that it needs to censor "enemy media" in order to maintain itself as an independent nation. ....................But Iran has not blocked WikiLeaks to stop foreign influence pouring into the country. It has blocked WikiLeaks to try and prevent Iranian whistleblowers getting the truth out.
In censorship terms, the blocking of WikiLeaks is Iran's Berlin wall moment; it is not an attempt to keep enemies out, rather, it is an attempt to lock Iranians in, and as such must be condemned
I guess BigBrother just knows what's best for us...er...the Iranians in this particular case.
Here's teh link. It's a short read, too. So it won't take up too much of your time.
Hey.
This isn't the first time that Wikileaks has been blocked.
Nor will it be the last time.
but that's what happens when truth and the divulging of information to the public is blocked by government and organizations.
