Iran has launched its own video-sharing website after the country deemed YouTube’s content inappropriate. The website aims to attract Persian-speaking users and promote Iranian culture, according its ‘About Us’ section.
The website is called ‘Mehr,’ which means ‘affection’ in Farsi. It has its own Facebook page dedicated to providing links to its content, including Iranian-produced music clips.
Tehran has censored YouTube since 2009, in the wake of the controversial elections that returned President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to power.
