Syrian government officials banned the use of the iPhone in an attempt to minimize communication between protesters and local journalists. Another goal is to prevent activists from using the smartphone Apple to denounce the violent with the Syrian government to fight civilians protesting.
"The authorities have threatened anyone with an iPhone is in Syria," Syrian activists reported that they are in Beirut. This ban, according to the protesters, came directly from the Minister of Finance, after the cell has been used to disseminate images of violence that took the country since the protests began in March this year.
According to the United Nations, since the protests began four thousand people were killed in the country. Since March, the foreign press is prevented from reaching the country, what motivates other people from within the people, activists or not, to report what happens there.
A measurement was made even worse in Egypt earlier this year when the government prevented the mobile phone companies operate in the country. Even with blocking communication, the news was still sent by other means.
"Steve Jobs must be turning in his grave to know that your product is banned in the country of his father," one activist told the Haaretz website. Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco, the son of a Syrian father named John Abdulfattah Jandali, and then was adopted by Paul Reinhold Jobs.
