Social Media in Iran — NOT

Posted on August 17, 2016 by forstegrupp

The Iranian government blocks lots of social media — including Pokemon Go (see this BBC report).

Of the very few social media apps which I use, the following are blocked:

  • wordpress (so you will have to wait until we return to hear about our adventures)
  • twitter
  • facebook (not that I am ever on that)

But they do not block Instagram since it is used for advertising.

So I will try posting to instagram whenever we have wifi. My instagram is: sforsteg. Join me!

You can also see how few followers I have! sad emoticoninstagram
