[liberationtech] Chmail Fail

https://chmail.ir is Iran's new replacement for Gmail.
The domain's ownership is controlled by an email address
@gmail.com. Is there something missing in this picture?

0_0

So technically Gmail can password reset the control over chmail.ir and
receive the email ... BEEP BEEP ... take control over DNS and all sorts
of stuff. (not saying they would).

I did sign up for an email address with chmail.ir and requested a copy
of Tor from gettor at torproejct.org, so far I have not received my copy of
Tor Browser Bundle...

This new email is another tool to censor/control information that IR
gov. would like to enjoy!


All the best,
SiNA
