Iran has blocked social networking site Facebook. They did this before the presidential elections.
Iran has blocked access to social networking site Facebook ahead of June's presidential elections, Iran's Ilna news agency and web users say. The reasons for this action they claim that the action had taken to stop reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi from using the site for his campaign. This action happened couple days before the election. Many facebook users expressed their disappointment because of this ban. Mir Hossein Mousavi also had 5000 supporters on his facebook page.
I think that blocking social network such as facebook is so foolish. I mean there are other social networks such as myspace that is as powerful. Facebook is great way for elections. I think that this action might effect the elections slightly.
