Hi, Today, Iran's Chief of cyber police warned people who send jokes about The leader and founder of the Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini via social media and mobile apps, saying action will taken against those insulting Khomeini in Viber and Whatsapp[1]. He went on to warn social media users that the police can monitor these applications.[2]
This is the first time an Iranian official acknowledges that they are monitoring mobile applications in Iran.
