Google vs Iran

A few weeks after China ticked off Google by attacking Google's servers searching for personal information pertaining to civil rights activists Iran is now in on the censorship. With upcoming protests approaching on one of Iran's most important political holidays Iran disabled many gmail accounts, presumably in an attempt to halt communication between certain opposition leaders. However, Iran's communication agency announced that Google's email services would be permanently down. Google made a statement saying that whenever their services are blocked they try to solve the problem as quickly as possible, but unfortunately sometimes it is out of their hands. So here we have another fascist country engaging in despicable censorship through Google. We seem to be reaching an age of a new kind of Berlin wall. Instead of concrete, iron, and guns the world is starting to see rerouted, deleted, and blocked data. Hopefully we Americans won't have to worry about this extensively until we descend into a similar dark age that China, Iran, and other fascist countries of the world have decided to keep themselves in.
