These things crack me up. What exactly do they thing 'the internet' is?

Lemme help you out - it's a network of networks. It's build on a set of protocols that enable communications. VPS. VPN. IP Tunneling. TOR.

The only people they can actually prevent from accessing the full international internet are NOT any danger to them. It is no different than a law that prevents people from buying a machine gun. Who will obey this law? People who you could, in fact, actually TRUST with a machine gun. And who will break the law? That would be criminals - now with machine guns...

No one has accused the mullahs of being technological geniuses.

Reminds us of the "law-abiding citizen" gun owner, who abides by the law right until he gets really mad & plugs his nagging wife.
