Last time I checked reverse engineering forums weren't forbidden by the thought police.

He actually has a point, sadly. Visiting a "Jihadist" website, based on some arbitrary definition and interpretation from some cyber freedom fighter in DC, VA, or MD, is enough to get your "metadata" added to their graphs. You think Iranian sites with posts about hacking the US aren't on that list? I don't. It's not enough to get you a visit from the feds or anything, but it's almost certain that any competent intell…

You're already in the graph. You can't escape it any more than Kevin Bacon, and you'll go crazy trying.

You know what's really sad? People whining about the NSA every single day on Hacker News. It's really unbearable. I'm quite sure that the NSA has a filter for people who bad mouth America on hacker sites. I really wouldn't worry too much. You're classified as impotent. Unlikely to do anything more than whine.

Let the downvoting begin. What a bunch of losers.

...why? Because it's arabic? Ooohhh, scary arabic. Or they're talking about spies and bombs? Don't we talk about those things on hacker news too? I can't read it, I'm working my way through the google translation and just starting, so maybe it's all "bad" stuff, but to be honest, I hope iranians can shed some light on what our government is doing - the US government itself certainly isn't going to help with that.

You know, I feel the same way. They may be our enemies and want to destroy us, but being able to see their side of things is refreshing. We can't continue to act like we're the perfect country and everyone else is 100% evil. It's not that simple.

The Iranian government has no point of view worth its salt. It's a repressive regime and the more we buy into their crap the more we're actually harming the people of that country.

I'm not sure what we're looking at there, but it's something I probably shouldn't have clicked on.

Yeah, I really regret going there now...

Which is really, really sad. It's come to this, where we have to be afraid of drivebys on websites just because they may be honeypots for the US government, or because they might get all of us on some surveillance list.

When is it going to stop?

What kind of mystic poems? autors? not precisely these ones but generally. I find it interesting.

I'm not sure about authors, but I can try to translate. To give you a context, these poems are written by gnostic who believed they saw the real truth and they had no fear of dying because you can not never kill their souls. I assume any culture has this sort of things" First poem: We are stuck in a deep well of the bad thinking one Our message would not reach to you (God?) easily Second (red) I have experienced a lo…

None of them actually believe that crap. They want us to believe that they actually believe that crap. Get it? It's a scare tactic sorta similar to what the police in the US uses and should not be unfamiliar to anyone living here.

Is this really the point we've reached? Where people with no intention of being a terrorist are bothered about visiting a site because they know everything they do is being observed? If we've reached the point of self censoring behaviour, then we're definitely in the Panopticon. The harder it becomes to break out of our filter bubbles, the more foreigners will look alien, strange and scary :(

Isn't this self censoring one of the main goals of a Orwellian society?

It's Persian :) Very similar script, completely different language family. Persian is closer to English than Arabic.

I guess it would really blow your mind if we told you that this language is also in the same language family as English, German, and French (Indo-European).

of course we do

I'm sorry, I don't believe that. I mean, all this Internet and telecommunication surveillance is one thing - and a bad thing for sure, but spying drones is in another ballpark. I'll just leave this here from Orwell's 1984: In the far distance a helicopter skimmed down between the roofs, hovered for an instant like a bluebottle, and darted away again with a curving flight. It was the police patrol, snooping in people'…

I would like to congratulate you on how naive you are.

Just yo let you know those text on photos are basically mystic poems. One of the tools Iranian propaganda uses

Translating this forum is hard. They uses a specific language that has tons of reference to the way Iranian government sees the world. For example they never say "Israel", they would say instead "Usurper Regime". Because they never recognize Israel as a country. What we have here is a forum by Iranian semi-military force "Basij". They bluff all the time and you never know what is truth. They have no shame in photosho…

If you recall the Iranian uprising a few years ago, the Basij were the jack-booted thugs who were beating the shit out of innocent civilians. It was a member of the Basij who killed Neda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Neda_Agha-Soltan

But that site is written in scary terrorist letters.
