在GVO那里看到Iran政府限制上网速度。

Iran’s Islamic government has opened a new front in its drive to stifle domestic political dissent and combat the influence of western culture – by banning high-speed internet links.

虽然伊朗政府是世界上其中一个顶尖的网络“防火墙”国家（略比中国差一点），可是我不知道限制网速能做到的实际效果是多少。

Maleki’s UN speech called on the international community to adopt measures to strike “a balance between capabilities of the media networks of the developed and developing nations and guarantee justice and free flow of information and embark on international campaign against one-sided and purposeful news broadcasts.” He said that “currently there is an absence of balance on availability to modern information technology of the developing and developed nations.”

这说一套做一套的做法，好像美国也很常做。不知道为什么反西文化这么厉害的伊朗会学习这个西方文化呢？

The updated policy rejects the development of arms control agreements that could restrict or limit U.S. access to or use of space. It also calls for the development of space capabilities that support U.S. defense and intelligence initiatives.

不过美国政府也采取了与伊朗相似的做法，不过不像伊朗这样只搞网络，美国搞了整个太空科技。

Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi said last Sunday that there is free press in Malaysia but it is the media which self-censors.

马来西亚是不会限制新闻自由的，只是让你与“自由”隔绝罢了。
