The Iranian state has a tight control on which web sites its citizens may visit. (China and Turkey are two other countries whose governments are fearful of a medium whose content they cannot control.) Among the websites 'filtered' are Blogger and Flickr.However software systems have the wonderful property that if something is disabled through software, it's possible to get around that in software too. Enter Access Flickr!, a Firefox add-on which, when installed in Firefox on my virus-proof bootable USB stick, will allow me to blog from anywhere where I can find an internet-connected computer - including Iran. Yes, the web truly is subversive.
