Cross that line, the gloves come off.

- firefax 1y agoIt speaks volumes that simply circumventing a firewall is "fucking with" a regime. I'm guessing Iran is similar to China (restrictions on GPS software etc). They may be simply trying to efficiently vacation. Having a way to get information out if mistreated can make mistreatment simply not happen. The Persian people are very friendly, but they're held hostage by a lunatic fringe. When you blame the user for circumventing as firewall, it's akin to blaming a battered woman for "instigating" her man. Mature authoritarian regimes do things old fashioned -- they put a minder on you, and keep an eye out. If Iran is too poor or stupid to take that approach, then maybe it's a good thing if a single crack in their firewall brings humpty dumpty tumbling down.
