The government of Iran has cracked down on freedom of speech once again, and blocked the new social network Google+, less than two weeks after it was launched. Iranian officials fear that Google+ can be used by the United States as a “new spy tool” against the regime, and allow dissidents and opposition activists to contact Iranian opposition members abroad.
Facebook, Twitter, and other social media are also prohibited in the Islamic Republic. This is just one aspect of the constant struggle of the people of Iran against the human rights violations of Iran’s leaders.
