Are we going to see another Tianamen Square in Iran?

It looks like the government shut down internet access, phone lines, and the press.

Information is leaking out though sites like Twitter and FB but that is even getting harder - it is even being reported that people are being taken into custody for protesting and posting via these sites.

We all know how quiet China tried to keep Tianamen Square quiet and they did for a little while. Are we going to look back years form now at what is going in in Iran as another version? When governments close their doors to the outside world - you know there is a good chance that whatever is going to happen won't be pretty.

It didn't matter who won because both were chosen by the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Sure one was a little more moderate than the other but in the grand scheme of things nothing was going to change. As long as the Ayatollahs control the military they control the country and decide its fate.

I just read that the government has banned all Foreign media from reporting.

And that it (the Iranian Government) can not guarantee the safety of journalists.

Someone (Iranian citizen in Tehran) also related that any one with a camera is being targeted by squads that take people into custody.

i have a dedicated server with maybe 100 sites
i have one proxy site i provide as a free service. nice, clean site, no ads, popups etc

this proxy is taking down my server, my sites werent resolving, traffic has exploded and you know how much proxy sites drain your server.
i took down, but when checked awstats, its 99% iranian traffic, so put back up, i may need to get another server just for this!
dont want to let them down

sometimes the only way to change things is people power. whatever the price. it takes brave souls

Ask anyone who was a Tianamen square. :(

It looks like it is getting worse and worse over there.

And Pred - good job.

Really sorry to hear about this :( Have been following it quite closely since it began and it doesn't look good. Common sense would tell you that if it wasn't fixed, a reaction other than "Stop or we'll shoot you" from the senior officials would prevail.

And good job Pred

It's also nice to see that Google and Facebook are rolling out Farsi versions of their apps.

Talking

lol guys

cheers Dale, yeah saw on the corn of the a last week
i have since saved it

update on the proxy, still 95% iranian traffic, seems like the U.S is discovering it now
1vy.com
keeping it lite and free of ads etc for easy use

to give some idea on useage and stats:

something fairly busy with steady traffic like okok.com uses double digit meg a day in bandwidth

my proxy site is draining 1.5 GIG a day

its showing hundreds of thousands of pageviews a day, surely my awstats are out

i love my popcorn, there has abeen a serious lackage on here lately
i may start a popcorn thread tonight, feel in a mischevious mood, it is fathers day after all

Well done Pred!
Many of your site user will remember your site and continue
to use it even when this terrible situation is over.

That's when you can add small ads and reap the benefits of your good deed
