Iran Removes Ban from Access to Gmail
A recent report has unveiled that Iran is now free of any
kind of restrictions on access to Gmail. The restrictions had been imposed
almost a week before.
Everyone was banned from using the Google email service's
secure version. However, the telecommunications ministry committee was intended
at blocking the YouTube, Gmail had also been banned. But, it is being said that
the same was essential.
It has been found that YouTube had been blocked from any use
in the year 2009 only. And the ban on the same is still continuing. The people
in Iran cannot access the Google's video-sharing site and as per the findings,
the aim of the committee is to make it inaccessible down the road as well.
A member was quoted as saying, "That is why the
telecommunications ministry is seeking a solution to fix the problem to block
YouTube under the HTTPS [Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure] protocol while
leaving Gmail accessible".
Mohammad Reza Miri says that though, they do not have a
technical know-how about the two distinct services. The ban came into effect
last week co-incidentally coincided with protests against an anti-Islamic film
posted on YouTube.
Faramarz, from Qazvin believes that Google may face some
losses due to the ban, but the same is anyhow vital.
