Millions of Iranians visit porn sites daily

The National Youth Organization affiliated to the Iranian presidency has issued a report stating that some 12 million Iranian youth access porn websites on a daily basis.

The report stated that although these websites are blocked by the government, visitors find ways to breach the ban and access the websites using hi-tech computer systems, according to a report published by Saudi daily Al-Watan.

Head of the National Youth Organization Mohamed Akbari said that Western countries make pornographic material available as a weapon "to kill virtue in the souls of our youth after they failed at attacking us with real arms."

Iran imposes strict censorship on the Internet and has already closed many websites that criticize government policies. Opposition forces both inside and outside Iran lash out at government practices towards human rights, especially arrest campaigns and restrictions on freedom of expression.

The Iranian government has also intensified the bugging of phone calls between youths, especially on cell phones, and monitors text messages that criticize the regime.

Iranian police have launched campaigns in the streets to impose the Islamic dress code and ensure people comply with general rules of decency.

Need to be careful. When you appear on cam, keep in mind to wear your "shadour" otherwise you will be in trouble :)

I wonder why some are sensitive and become itchy when we talk about Iran.

yeah right, whats new... censorship never worked in the past, is not working now, and most certainly will not work in the future either..

but censors will always be in need to justify their existence

When you live somewhere and you know the rules, you either knuckle down or try to find ways round them..

Iran, like Saudi and other Big Brother states will gradually realise that this is not the way and loosen the grip...

The interesting part in cracking the firewalls - which is good news for our lovely dragonty - and monitoring phone calls and text messages. This is also practised in evry country. But the point is if I were there and text something like "dear" or "babe" or "sweetheart" then that would be "evidence" for adultery. LOL

Couiosity is a powerfull thing.

If it is there people will look at it sooner or later.

All gets a bit boring in the end.

I suppose this is the only route some people have to find out about sex.

I have to laugh imagining some peoples wedding nights if that is the only concept they have of how sex is.

The mind boggles!!!!!

The same is true for Saudi, and was true in the UK. Eastern Europe etc..

Initially, users tend to visit these types of sites or similar "taboo" sites. Gradually, the novelty wears off for most and they start surfing the internet for a variety of sites.. Its a natural progression..
