Iran 'blocks access to Facebook' Vide
PostSubject: Iran ''blocks access to Facebook''   Iran 'blocks access to Facebook' Icon_minitimeSun May 24, 2009 3:56 am
Iran's government has blocked access to social networking site Facebook ahead of June's presidential elections, according to Iran's ILNA news agency.

ILNA suggested the move was aimed at stopping supporters of reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi from using the site for his campaign.

Facebook, which claims to have 175m users worldwide, expressed its disappointment over the reported ban.

So far there has been no comment from the authorities in Tehran.

'Access not possible'

"Access to the Facebook site was prohibited several days ahead of the presidential elections," ILNA reported.

It said that "according to certain Internet surfers, the site was banned because supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi were using Facebook to better disseminate the candidate's positions".

CNN staff in Tehran reported that people attempting to visit the site received a message in Farsi that said: "Access to this site is not possible."
