The Islamic Revolution occurred in 1979 in Iran when the theocracy took over the government. This movement was led by mostly college students in their 20's. Iran's Shah abandoned Iran to seek medical treatment in the US. Young Iranians, furious with the US, took all 66 hostages of the US embassy in Iran hostage. This situation parallels with the Iranian elections of 2009: the young generation was most of the havoc.
How did the government try to restrict the use of electronics?
The Iranian Government attempted to monitor internet communications by prosecuting, even executing, citizens who spread news about the potentially flawed Iranian 2009 elections. The government also tried to track "cyber gossip" by doing keyword searches for terms such as "iran elections" and "ahmadinejad."
