Obama's election United States has not gone unnoticed in Iran (as elsewhere in the world), and even if it is completely unimaginable that the presidential candidates in Iran are calling for him, his campaign apparatus, it has tried to be copied here.
To gain release, Obama had indeed bet part of his campaign on the Internet: he had his page on "Facebook" or "Twitter", his videos on "Youtube", his blog .... and some discussions were made on discussion forums.
Except that level of information technology, Iran this is not the United State .... but then not really!
One candidate tried to make his pub on "Facebook" before seeing his efforts nullified because of the sudden ban of the site in Iran. In short ... not easy to create a virtual space in a country that censors the Internet profusely.
was told before I arrived, the strict Islamic republic of Iran restricts access to sites of opponents to the plans or sites with very mild manners, it does me no more worried than that.
Unfortunately my first steps into the net, however, Iranian me quickly revealed another dimension of the problem. Soon I am facing this kind of window:
Some community sites ("Facebook", "Youtube", ...), news sites (BBC / Persia ",...) , forums (Doctissimo "....), blogs, .... are regularly screened. The state apparatus is trying to master the Internet as it does on television, radio and newspapers ... in vain. The Iranian geek (I am a little party now) is pretty creative: it happens quite easily around obstacles and information continues to move one way or another.
