[liberationtech] Coursera to join censor club by blocking Iran IP space

[Nima Fatemi]

Hi Liberationtechers,

I just realized Coursera has recently joined the censor club by blocking
access to Iranian users[1].

Meanwhile I quote the very first line of their About page[2]:

"We believe in connecting people to a great education so that anyone
around the world can learn without limits."

This is not exactly what "free and open education" means! and I think we
should do something about it.

Any ideas?
