Iran has blocked access to social networking site Facebook ahead of June’s presidential elections, Iran’s Ilna news agency and web users say.
Access to the Facebook site was prohibited several days ahead of the presidential elections, Ilna reported.
It said that “according to certain Internet surfers, the site was banned because supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi were using Facebook to better disseminate the candidate’s positions.
Its been reported that people attempting to visit the site received a message in Farsi that said: “Access to this site is not possible.”
Facebook expressed disappointment that its site was apparently blocked in Iran.
