Blog freedom, not for everybody :-(

Spread the word, freedom is not universal:

From Hossein Derakhshan's


If you'd like to see what exactly is heppening to Iranian weblogs after the recent filtering in Iran, take a look at the stats report of a popular Persian weblog which happenes to be a little sexual. As you can see in this diagram, the page views have suddenly dropped to about %50 after July 9th and 10th. Therefore the rumors are true about blogspot still being blocked in Iran by most of the ISPs.

Please do something about this as much as you can. At least spread the sad news.

Update: A friend of mine has sent an email contaning the error message they get when they try to reach my weblog:
