Have you conducted a survey amongst 85 million Iranians to know their opinion?
Then, as said, foreign propaganda channels are available to whomever wishes to get brainwashed by them. They shouldn't be in reach though, but that's another matter.
Don't you think the fact that you made that claim about satellite dishes is survey enough , the fact that you have silence them by parasites isn't an announcement enough ?
by the way did you made any survey state otherwise
That's no spin, to say this or that party started it is a spin because what counts is the reasons and their legitimacy. There's a difference between legitimate justifications and bogus pretexts.
And indeed, western regimes have cited all sorts of flimsy excuses to restrict Iranian media activity on their soil.
Access to foreign propaganda channels was hardly ever disrupted as a whole. Any jamming performed by Iran is usually confined to a specific broadcaster and very limited in time.
how you spin it not as how the world see it
you say it not as a whole , but in many cases because of different modulation and some physique law that its not the place to go too , whats important you disrupted satellite outside your country.
I strongly doubt that whoever complained, declared it was due to them getting "sexually stimulated" by the logo and therefore fearing for their afterlife. This sounds made up. And the one plaintiff I saw mentioned in a cursory search was not a member of the Basij but ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi.
they exactly said they see a provocative woman in the logo
and he just support it after the complaint were made
Again, show evidence that their motivation was to avoid the risk of being condemned to hell. And the fact that it's an obscure paper which was reinstated afterwards, makes this pretty much a non-event.
so you claim they used that logo as an excuse the real reason was payback for some other grievance , just some cheap revenge ?
Far it be from Basij and Islamic republic to fall to this , i suggest you think twice if you want to claim that .
1) He is not being detained under rape charges.
Sweden make that charge and police make warrant arrest on that charge , and he escaped to certain country embassy to escape that charge.
Sweden didn't make any charge against him for what he did with Wikileaks
2) The sexual misconduct allegation against Assange was so obviously fabricated that the Swedish regime dropped the investigation not once, but thrice for lack of evidence.

https://www.pressenza.com/2020/03/h...ented-the-rape-charge-against-julian-assange/
so he could surrender himself to Sweden and be free but he choose to escape law and hide in certain embassy in London as the consequence of his action now he must face USA mockery of judiciary system rather than Swedish one , and guess you know how different they are
Oh, so security considerations do offer a valid justification for limiting free speech, don't they? Good to know you think this way.
Now all that remains to be done, is to compare the magnitude and urgency of security threats which Iran and the USA are respectively facing, and to draw the necessary conclusions. Especially when it comes to the legitimacy of those timid and token measures Iran has introduced so far against hostile propaganda agencies.
to draw the necessary conclusion its irrelevant . if a document is labeled , top secret , secret , confidential or not to be published on and you come across it due to some trust . or any other reason you came across .its clear what's your duty in any place in the world , he deliberately and knowingly breached that trust , stole and published confidential documents , its clear what would have happen to him where ever he was . what you expect USA do say we are stronger than this nobody can threaten us , it's ok , everything is rosy , we are BFF , come and do some other contract for us in Langley
Because it's absurd to expect something no government has ever practiced, including self-proclaimed champions of "democracy" and "free speech".
It's important that the Iranian people know what's going on in the west. If they were adequately informed in this regard, they'd adjust their demands vis à vis Iranian authorities accordingly.
so don't preach islamic republic is holier than others don't try to find any incident in usa even if the person attack the police and police react to it as police brutality , don't publish 14sec video of an incident and cut the other 10min of it and say look how much barbaric are there that a simple 2 min search could show how different the truth are
The USA regime spied on the Washington Post. A clear infringement of the rights of the press.
more like spied on democrat . they spied on washington post you say then what , did they closed it , prevented it from publish the story , sentenced the journalists to 10+ year of prison ?
"Enlightened"? As in the western Enlightenment philosophy with its secularist bent? Islamic civilization is far removed from it, thank God.
enlightened as what your definition of Islamic Enlightment is
you knew what I mean you just want to play with words here
Then why did you write, "Russian bombing and SAA shelling"? It's you shifting your statements, not me.
You post "Russian bombing and SAA shelling" and expect a response on booby trapped objects
because that i named 5 or 6 different incident , is it not conceivable , in two , the journalist died in Russians bombing , in one when government was barrel bombing the area , in one when SAA was shelling an area and in one incident a bomb was planted at the house of the journalist ?
there is a movie called 1000 ways to die in west, that try to depict what funny way somebody could die to west , honestly there was 1000 ways a journalist could die in Syria .
First of all, prove that this person was killed by the Syrian government. After all, there are solid indicators suggesting that western regimes and their proxies are in the business of eliminating footmen they consider to have become cumbersome. An example would be James Le Mesurier, founder of the White Helmets, the so-called "rescue group" active in the Syrian war, which was in fact linked to the insurgency. Unless of course you believe the official story that Le Mesurier "fell down" from the balcony of his residence in Istanbul, or if you think the Syrian intelligence service, completely battered as it was after years of war, would have been capable of pulling off an operation of this caliber.
after you prove that the car accident was work of CIA and the hit on other journalist by ISIS was ordered by USA
and the second half of the story is irrelevant , on other hand war make secret service grip stronger
Second of all, the journalist you're talking about was not just a critic of the government but a supporter of those you amicably refer to as cannibals. Now if some of the war reporters with sympathies for the insurgency, went about their job in the same way as the White Helmets were going about theirs - i.e. not shying away from criminal acts such as assisting Al-Nusra or similar terrorists in executing SAA soldiers, then any reprisal by the government would no longer qualify as violence against mere journalists.
irrelevant as he was not arrested put on trial in court, he was not even tried in absence , given the opportunity to defend himself , he was killed illegally and in the process of doing so another journalist severely injured
I re-posted your initial remarks, highlighting how you drifted.
Those air strikes and the shelling were not targeting any journalists. Nobody will resort to air-dropped munitions or artillery shells just to kill an individual journalist.
the result is the same or it was acceptable collateral damage and its clear what was the point of those barrel bombs
and if you don't want somebody use that logic don't make conspiracy theory about journalist death in Syria.
For a newspaper to change its orientation, it would suppose a replacement of its entire editorial staff.
news manager is enough , the rest of staff do whatever they are told
did after revolution we changed all the staff of IRIB , no we asked them to sign that they changed their ways
I have made the opposite experience. One which is actually in line with Google policies, since these are not exactly favorable towards the Islamic Revolution. My observation is clearly that liberal sources tend to come up first in search results.
perhaps different result according to different ip address around the world
I didn't comment on that, but on the net result: plurality of views is maintained at all times in the Iranian media landscape. This right here is the decisive factor.
at the danger of loosing your income , and mean to sustain
VPN's allow people to access the majority of filtered websites.
right now irancell is completely cut down here and there is no unrest here at all , wonder if you can teach me how to bypass that complete cut down by vpn and more than 95% of the vpns that were worked 3 week ago don't work any more. fat chance you can normally connect to TOR network
At what cost do people operate computers? The hardware itself can (and certainly does) contain backdoors, while the Microsoft operating systems most people use, is spyware in an onto itself.
about that tell that to dear IRIB that use that nefarious trojan horse in all of our infrastructure , instead of using an open source operating system like Linux.
the problem is microsoft didn't put those backdoor to use them against 17 years old who don't want compulsory hijab , they put those there to use them against other government and military and it seems in our country nobody care , i even have suspicion that the incident with Damavand was testing such attack as why both engine must loose power at the same time .
so your concerns here geared toward wrong person
Let's not even talk about smartphones, since with these devices, any notion of privacy and data security is a complete illusion. Given that tens of millions of Iranians are happily using smartphones and have therefore no issues with western companies - and regimes, accessing their data, they will certainly not be whining about some random VPN operator doing the same.
again do the back doors are used against normal civillian or against foreign official , here you also must make your concerns that happily use their Iphone or Samsung S series phone at work , instead of like the rest of the world , the government issue secure phone to them and make it clear for them that they use those secure phone for work related materials or they loose their job and loose their privileges .
Iran-based websites aren't filtered.
who need filter
several day ago you could not access hostIran servers , do you knew how many business were using it
i could not access Social security servers 2-3 night ago to prescribe drugs for patient if i was using mobiles phone . do you knew what was the solution for it , use VPN
Jumping from newspapers and television channels to films. Stay focused.
show the extent of censorship
good , tell me about one such book
Why should such a thing be allowed? Glorification of drug abuse or of criminal offenses, is not protected by freedom of speech.
lol its a story , i was trying to write about a person who after using alcohol committed acts that he was sorry about them and was in conflict with himself on how to fix what already happened . I probably had to write about how he did those acts after consuming tea or coffee.
Filters can be circumvented by VPN's. But subversive content needs to be banished. Hence a more efficient filtering system is required.
the filtering system is as efficient as it can get if on a server you see a website that is not appropriate close or the IPs related to that server not the site or webpage
Yes, among other possible measures. But the most frequent control mechanism in the west is self-censorship.
here it include order by a single person
Lies are not the only things that deserve criticism. A half-truth for example is not a lie, but questionable nonetheless.
so he told half truth , which part
The year Serena Shim was martyred, 3524 people lost their lives in road accidents in Turkey. This is as low as average figures for a country like Germany.
Moreover, even if the number was ten times greater, statistically the probability for a random person to die in a car accident on a random day would remain very low.
yeah but look at what i found
Shim was in a rental car, sitting in the passenger seat, driven by her
16-year-old cousin Judy Irish.
wonder at what age you can legally drive in turkey
yes it is 18 year old , she was in a rental car (God only knew what the problem the car had) driven by an under age children who had no driving license and made a head on collision with a cement truk
the under age illegal driver two years later claimed the truck hit them from back to fox news and all your story is based on that on other hand the truck driver from the day one
"According to the truck driver, Irish's car was "traveling at a very high speed, went out of control, entered my lane and came under my truck."
if anybody killed her was her cousin that her reckless driving resulted in the accident and death
According to the report, Irish was the "sole culprit".
[3][13] The report said Irish "entered the junction too fast, violating a lane as well as traffic rules by turning right."
[13] After he was initially detained following the accident, Salan was released.
Apples and oranges: Iran is a strategic adversary of NATO regimes, therefore they have a motive to repress reporters affiliated with Iranian media. Which doesn't apply to journalists working for western mainstream media.
again your logic that nato , they bad m, they have motif , they evil , we angel. as i said western Orange vs our orange
The SAA killing a Syrian journalist - allegedly, as it still remains to be proven, has nothing to do with Iran or Iranian allies' treatment of western journalists. If you cannot see how it's off-topic, then you're confused.
show both side killed journalists , so don't play I'm holier card with me , never worked on me . never will
Only five western cities in that list. And just two Iranian media.
Now, why don't you name the many officious western regime mouthpieces which have been authorized to station correspondents in Tehran? Maybe because their list happens to be several times longer than the above.
. the list of irna is different and do other iranian media work outside iran ?
