Iran's upcoming smart filtering system for websites provides access to users based on their condition and identity.

The Managing Director of Iran's Telecommunication Infrastructure Company Mahmoud Khosravi said that the system is pretty much like parental control, Iran's Fars News Agency reported on Dec. 8.

"The content will be blocked in the access layer, instead of international gateway," he explained.

"The access layer will be defined based on ISPs, operators, or provinces. We haven’t decided on that yet," Khosravi said.

Iran’s Communications and Information Technology Minister Mahmoud Vaezi said on Nov. 24 that the ministry plans to launch a smart filtering system for websites.

"The system will determine which parts of a website are criminal. So just those parts will be blocked and the rest will be accessible," he said, Iran 's IRNA News Agency reported.

"The project is expected to come on stream in 10 months," Vaezi said, praising the efforts of domestic experts.

Vaezi said on Nov. 15 that the ministry is in talks with foreign hosts to manage the mobile social network applications inside the country.

“We don’t intend to filter the applications,” he said, Iran ’s Khorasan News Daily reported.

“The ministry’s goal is not to limit Iranians’ access to Internet,” Vaezi said, adding that the ministry wants to refine the Internet and create a safe atmosphere for the users.


Vaezi has repeatedly supported the free use of social networks despite the conservatives' pressures. Hmmmm....A bit Like 'Parental Control' now 'Mullah control'
