replies: text: I am not of any particuar ethnic group, but as of today, I observed those sites to be indeed heavily filtered.

message: :Image:Filter internetcafe.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: Is there anyway to obtain the list of sites that Iran is blacklisting?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scirocco6 (talk • contribs) 17:35, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have seen the filter change several times over a three-week period. At one point, en.wikipedia.org was added to the filter. Later, en.wikipedia.org was accessible again, but specific keywords where filtered, such as Ultrasurf. Also, such keywords are now filtered on all search machines. There is no such thing as a defined list of blacklisted sites. PotatoEater (talk) 12:18, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Iranian Blacklist 

message: While the iranian government filters the incoming internet (censorship), America (Europe?) applies Export Restrictions towards e.g., Iran. Sourceforge refuses to download to Iranians, see their apology. 
As a foreign traveller, I was not able to obtain updates for McAfee while in Iran. As a registered user from outside Iran, an update would not even constitute an export to Iran.
This seems in violation to the free character of Open Source. They seem to bow very very fast to the demands of the US government, while the NY Times recently reported that 74 major companies blatantly ignore that same law, and that in 30 years no single company was ever penalized for it.
On the other hand, in Iran you can buy in every shop and restaurant Coca Cola, Fanta etc, bottled in Teheran with a license of the Coca Cola company. Just an example of the many US products normally available in Iran.
I really think all this boycott stuff is junk. US/Europe wants Free Trade, then a boycott is not logical. Also, the intent of the boycotts are to influence the Iranian government to change policies towards the demands of the US, but which sane mind can imagine a government to say 'ouf, our internet users cannot download from Sourceforge (or buy a spare part for our 30-year old boeing plane) , now we really have to change our policies on (atomic bomb / head scarfs / whatever).' In fact, the only real reason I can think of for the boycott is to actually keep the regime more firm in place so that the US military industry will not lose business.
