Iran Blocks Clash of Clans For Promoting ‘Tribal War’ lol.

Iran’s Ministry of Justice is curtailing access to the wildly popular mobile game Clash of Clans, because the game is a “clear example of violence through education and the promotion of tribal war.”
According to Iranian media, a majority of members of the Committee for Determining Instances of Criminal Content recommended the game be blocked after receiving a report from psychologists that claimed the game promotes violence, tribal war, and is extremely addictive, among other issues. The game was found to be especially harmful to Iranian youth. According to human rights organization Freedom House, the Committee for Determining Instances of Criminal Content “is empowered to identify sites that carry forbidden content and report such information” to internet service providers to block.
