Abstract

Iran has mounted one of the world's most intense censorship efforts: jamming broadcasts, blocking websites, and infiltrating Facebook accounts. Nevertheless, with its large, tech-savvy population of people under 30, Iran is fertile ground for a social media campaign by U.S.-sponsored broadcasters. Efforts to bring news to Iranians are in some ways a throwback to the epic Cold War-era information battles. Adapted from the source document.
