We all are addicted to social networking sites such as Facebook, twitter, and blogs for various reasons. We connect to our friends through social networking sites, meet larger number of people. Many of them use social networking sites for business purposes. A social networking site has become popular at a high speed. Facebook is one of the best examples of social networking site’s power. It has made the world look smaller in our context.
But many problems have come into existence due to social networking site. These sites are known for its freedom of expression, but are creating problem and instability in society. Countries are taking various measures to avoid the cyber crime, but Iran has a unique style to do it. Iran's latest effort to control internet access would reportedly give citizens "restricted and controlled" access to prohibited social networking sites. Iran has had an uneasy relationship with the web, especially as political tension between it and the United States government has widened. They issued a outlawing that help citizens access blocked material on the internet in May, and the country has reportedly been working on a government-run network that would operate "largely isolated" from the rest of the internet, fearing Western attacks. But some citizens have ignored the bans, bypassing Iranian filters and controls using virtual private networks.
"The designing of intelligent software to control social networking websites is underway."
The country is taking additional measures with "intelligent software" to control access to social networks. It's not clear when the software will be finished, or exactly how it will function, but it could be an automated filtering system that removes or blocks blasphemous or other controversial content. Earlier this month, the country launched its own version of YouTube dubbed Mehr that allows users to upload and view content they create, and watch videos from Iranian national broadcaster IRIB.
