Google Groups filtered in Iran
I just realised that all discussion groups at Google Groups are filtered by the government of Iran. This is really frustrating, since I just managed to move email subscribers to my blog from another service to Google Groups.
If they could use other domain or sub-domain names for Groups, it'd be an easy solution.
Also if they could think of a way people could confirm their subscription to groups by email, instead of going to Google Group's website, it'd be a big help.
The problem now is that although they can receive email from Google Groups, they can't join it or confirm their invitations, since the process is done on groups.google.com, which is apparently filtered in Iran.
Dear Google! We really need you help.

People in Iran can still read your blog, just as google groups, the blocking is ineffective if you use the right software. Tell your visitors to install tor, put up a link on a prominent spot or try to spread the word somehow.

Why are you so naive about this lot. This is quite normal.
