이란 정부가 소셜네트워크서비스(SNS)인 VChat를 차단했다고 이란의 국영 뉴스 웹사이트 yjc.ir이 19일(현지시간) 밝혔다.
중국의 게임업체인 텐센트가 만든 VChat는 이란에서 젊은 층과 소매업자들이 많이 이용하는 SNS로 파일 공유와 동일 지역내 접속자들간 통신이 가능하다.
VChat가 차단되자 이용자들은 트위터와 메시지를 통해 불만을 토로하고 있다.
이란은 2009년 대통령선거 이후에 야당에서 집회를 위해 소셜네트워크서비스를 자주 이용하자 페이스북, 트위터 등을 금지했다.
현재 프록시와 가상사설망(VPN)을 통해 이들 사이트에 우회 접속할 수는 있지만 이란 정부는 공식적으로 접속을 불허하고 있다. (연합뉴스)
Iran bans popular social networking service
An Iranian state-owned news website is saying authorities have banned a popular cell-phone based social networking service.
The Thursday report by yjc.ir said a decision by a governmental monitoring body on communications led to the ban of VChat.
Many users complained on twitter and in messages that they do not have access to the cell-phone based social networking service.
VChat is a product of Chinese company Tencent, and is highly used by young people as well as retail businesses in Iran. It allows file sharing and communication with others connected to the same local area network.
Iran blocked many social networking services like Facebook and Twitter after opposition members widely used them during 2009 post-election turmoil to organize gatherings.
People still reach the banned sites through proxy and VPNs. (AP)
