Iran's Government Controls Their History

In Iran, Information Gets Out Despite Government Control

I recently have read an interesting story about Iran. When history-making events were announced around the world, many media brought the events to the public. throught the media we can know how and why these events happend. However, Iran is different. In Iran, if the informations of Iran are bad news, Iran government banned that the media informed the public about bad news or events of Iran. If some marchers or some reporters didn't keep the rule, the government would be killed or would be arrested. The public could talk to someone by only phone or email. But this is the Internet age and many protesters use the internet. however, Iran government also might omit or changes the facts on the internet. Also, the government often blocked many internet sites and text messages from cell phones. Thus, the cell phone service is often down. To be brief, Iran's governmet's intension is to stop the world from knowing what is going on Iran. I think the more Iran government control the facts or information about history-making events of Iran, the more the protesters and the reporters would think that they need to tell the public about the truth.
