Google gives Google Earth, Picasa, and Chrome Downloads to Iran
I found the article a while back, but thought it was intersting. Google made Google available to Iran. The company will continue to block IP addresses associated with the Iranian government. Print Journalism and cell phone lines were closed during the rise of the protests that erupted in Iran following the presidential election in June 2009. YouTube and Twitter were cited by journalists, activists and bloggers as the best source for firshand accounts and on-the-scene footage of the protests and violence across the country. United States export controls and sanctions programs prohibited software downloads to Iran. The products are specifically designed to help people create, communicate, and share opinions and find information. The U.S. began allowing tech companies to export online services like instant messaging, chat, and photo sharing to Iran.
