Subject: Demand Yahoo to stop discrimination
Dear
friends
- I just added my name to this petition. I can't believe that Yahoo
won't let Iranians create yahoo mail accounts in Iran. Can you add your name
too?
Thanks,
gogo
Iran is facing unprecedented sanctions, but essential services like free
email accounts have long been exempt from the sanctions*. Instead of continuing
to provide millions of Iranian users with email services–Yahoo has decided to
shut off the ability for people in Iran to create new accounts.
Given that 63% of Iranians use Yahoo as their primary service provider this
is a huge problem*. This unnecessary move by Yahoo to limit access may
force many Iranians to use insecure and less-stable government Internet
communications services–essentially the local equivalent of an NSA-run email
service.
We know our voices matter to Yahoo because Yahoo executives have been
responsive to these kinds of campaigns before. Last year, after a prolonged
campaign, Yahoo agreed to turn on HTTPS encryption by default, which made its
email service far more secure for everyone. Can you add your name to the
petition urging Yahoo CEO, Marissa Mayer, to ensure that people in Iran can
create email accounts?

such as free email.

Dear Marissa Mayer,
please restore the ability of Iranians to create Yahoo
mail accounts.
