This is a new rule (Official text in Farsi). If you have a website, you have to register yourself here: www.Samandehi.ir. If your weblog is not registered, it will have a Unknown label and this can lead to it's blockage.

Lets have a look at the site designed by the government to collect all this data, here it is:



Nice look ? have a look at http://www.checkm8.com:



Cool ! This guys steal other companies design for this National Big Big project ! funny, but this is not all of it.


While registering you give out your personal info (I.D. number, full name, phone, address, ...) and a registration email will be sent to INFO@yourdomain.com ! Yes: INFO and nothing else. No no ! you can not have any other email for the registration !

And where all of these info will be saved ? lets "ping samandehi.ir", it is 204.15.8.253 ! where ? here:



Asbury Park at USA ! Our president have obliged us to give all of our countries websites and weblogs info to him and he is going to store it on a server in Asbury Park, USA!

For sure I will not register my weblogs because it is none of our governments business. I have wrote this on my farsi weblog (FreeKeyboard.net) and many other bloggers also said they are not going to register anything anywhere too.


UPDATE: the Samandehi.ir recently has changed some of it's logos and it's flash to say "I am original" :)
UPDATE2: the website of Islamic Guidance (Ershad) ministry (who ordered this act) was hacked yesterday ! Have a look at this hacked site's screen shots:

The first post says "Why are you doing something that will result in misery? Are'nt you ashamed ?" and the second post says "Islamic Guidance website was hacked. Hi, this website was hacked due to it's lack of security. I have to add when a ministry can not secure it's website, how it is going to talk about Organizing all the Farsi websites and weblogs?"
