Iran cuts off Internet access

Regime turns out the lights in advance of reported demonstrations planned for the weekend. Read this blog post by Charles Cooper on Politics, Policy, and Technology.

 

Iran has cut off access to the Internet, leaving millions of people without access to e-mail and social networks.
An individual inside the country confirmed this morning that Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo email are no longer available. Ditto for Facebook. So far, the government has not made any announcement about the service interruption.
But cyber-sophisticated Iranians are still able to circumvent the government by using proxy servers over VPN connections.
