Iran to block Israeli-founded navigation app Waze — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran is reportedly set to block the navigation app Waze from being downloaded across the Islamic Republic because it was founded and developed in Israel.
The head of an Iranian cyberspace watchdog, the Committee for Determining Criminal Web Content, said Monday that a committee is working to have the Iranian Communication Ministry block the service to Iranians, according to a report in the Azerbaijan-based Trend News Agency.
Iran briefly blocked the app back in March, arguing its links to Israel “raised concerns,” before reinstating it.
