Iran has censored Movable Type's website The blacklist contains over 800 Persian websites, including many political websites and weblogs, as well as many entertainment websites.
Iranians must be upset about the outrageous license fees too.

The Americans should probably invade Iran now, too... just to be on the safe side.

Bush and Ashcroft aren't responsible for censorship in Iran, silly.

Oh I get it now, it's "stop.censoring.us" as in "us", not "U.S."

If you have the ability to set up an anonymising proxy thingy, I'd say you should do so.
dagny: 'Iranian government censors free expression' is just a bit 'dog bites man', no? I'd like to know who's supplying the filtering software, though.
