New reports of blog bans in Iran

Journalists and technicians in Iran are saying that judiciary officials have ordered all major ISP’s to filter all blogging services including PersianBlog, BlogSpot, Blogger, BlogSky, BlogRolling, Orkut, Yahoo Personal and some other popular dating and social networking websites according to a report at Editor:Myself

The report speculates that for Iranian ISPs this means a big loss, since much of their recent sales have been due to the prolifiration of blogs in the country, and that the move will bankrupt small and private ISP’s by stealth.
