Iran set to widen "computer crime" laws to include blogs, comments, more
http://j.mp/vDThRC (Radio Zamaneh) "Iran's Parliament is preparing a proposal to widen the scope of computer crime laws to include text messages, weblogs and comments left on websites. The computer crimes laws were established in 2009 and they have their own special special courts process. According to those laws, producing content that goes against "public modesty and morals, sanctities and officials, as well as public and government bodies" is subject to criminal charges." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
