To say the fact, i'm against the anti-islam film, or you think it's proper to frame out or create some stuffS against others Religion, all because of you not believing in it... And now you call that a freedom of speech?!

Many of the Muslims in the world are unhappy because of this film, and they all count this a slap in there face, especially in a world that an internet connection is easy and already spread to all corners of the world.

In reaction to this, Iran was set to block access to Google and Gmail. Some citizen claimed it's only Google was blocked and not with Gmail.

Khoramabadi claimed the decision was taken after Iranians pressed the authorities to filter the sites because of links to the film.

An Iranian official said, "Google and Gmail will be filtered throughout the country until further notice,"

A citizen also said, "Just three hours ago I was still able to access my Gmail account but now I cannot open it,"

So you think Iranian Governments made a mistake for this decision?

Now, many Iranian have taken to social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter to react to Khoramabadi's announcement.... Because in this century of the world, no one can do without Technology!

Golnaz Esfandiari, who has a blog on the Radio Free Europe website, Persian Letters, tweeted: "By blocking Gmail/Google, #Iran government punishes its own people over anti-Islam movie. Most Iranians have not seen it/don't care."

It was reported from many online news source that, People in Iran who try to visit blocked addresses, are redirected to a web page that reads: "Access to the website is denied according to [Iran's] computer crimes regulations."Many Iranians access blocked addresses with help from proxy servers or virtual private network (VPN) services and as many as 17 million Iranians have Facebook accounts, although the site remains blocked in Iran.

Although many technology experts still believe Iran has fears of an outside cyber-attack like that of the Stuxnet, and is trying to protect its sensitive data from being accessible on the world wide web.
