Iran tries to cut off gays...

I'm not surprised, but I'd like to know more about which sites are still accesible.

Iran, according to a new report is "one of the world’s most substantial Internet censorship regimes."

The study, by the OpenNet Initiative - a university-based project sponsored by Harvard University, the University of Toronto and Cambridge University among others - says that Iran "has adopted this extensive filtering regime at a time of extraordinary growth in Internet usage among its citizens and a burst of growth in writing online in the Farsi language."

Of the sites tested by ONI, approximately 34 percent were blocked. A large number of those sites had gay and lesbian content including sites with news and HIV/AIDS information.

Testing showed that online content in the Farsi language is more likely to be blocked than is comparable content in the English language.
