A graphic depicts the state of Iranian internet freedom, or lack thereof.
The Iranian Internet â?? An Infographic by Maral Pourkazemi from Gestalten on Vimeo.
Iran is no North Korea, hermetically sealed off from the rest of the world. But since the 2009 protests, the Iranian regime has been systematically censoring and spying on web users. There are now plans to create a distinct internet (dubbed "Halal web") where Iranians can browse in a regime-approved walled garden (the elite, of course, will suffer no such restrictions).
Maral Pourkazemi created the above video to highlight the plight of the Iranian internet.
