The Iranian government is jamming cell phones/text messages and blocking websites for those trying to protest the elections. This may be the first example of a government conducting Cyber warfare on its own people. WOW! The times we are living in…see excerpt from AP news article below:
“Iran restored cell phone service that had been down in the capital since Saturday. But Iranians could not send text messages from their phones, and the government increased its Internet filtering in an apparent bit to undercut liberal voices.
Web sites linked to reformists’ new hero Mir Hossein Mousavi, who declared himself the true winner of Friday’s presidential race and urged backers to resist the government, were down. Social networking sites including Facebook and Twitter were also not working.
The restrictions were likely intended to prevent Mousavi’s supporters from organizing large-scale protests. But several small groups took to the streets, according to witnesses. About 300 Mousavi supporters gathered outside Sharif University, chanting ‘Where are our votes?'”
