inside Iran :: censorship2

I'm Jadi. A 27 years old from Tehran / Iran. I blogged for years at my farsi weblog (www.jadi.net) but these days I'm FILTERED in my own country so I have to write here in english. It's shame but it is the situation !

I am keeping an eye on freedom of expression, censorship, internet filtering and ...

Note: english IS NOT my native language. I'm not good at it. But I think writing in poor english is much more BETTER THAN not writing at all. But I'll be glad reciveing friendly editorial, spelling, grammer, ... comments and I'll fix and learn.

Google products are forbidden In Iran

I wanted to download the "Persian Calendar" open source project from http://code.google.com/p/jalali-calendar/ today. When I clicked the "Download" link, it said Forbidden: You are accessing this page from a forbidden country.

It should be because of the embargo but from today on we do not have access to our open source projects on Google Code anymore. This happens while I am reading on boingboing.net that Shareholders ask Google to counteract foreign 'net censorship.

This page also popped up when I wanted to download the Google Earth, two days ago.

p.s. Thanks to TOR (The Onion Router from EFF guys) I downloaded it.
