HW 11: Making Global Voices Heard

hoder.com/weblog. A weblog about Iran, technology and pop culture, by Hossein Derakhshan. He blogs in English and Persian, and is responsible for triggering thousands of Persian blogs both within Iran and amongst the Iranian diaspora. The blog as it now exists still corresponds to MacKinnon's view of it. Many young Iranians have come to this blog to speak their mind and get to know eachother online. It seems that these Iranians have been careful about what they're saying due to people going to jail. Yet some readers may challenge my view that people are holding back how they feel because why would they say something if they couldn't fully state what they ment or how they feel. However the Iranian government is taking it seriously and viewing it as a challenge to its power.
