Cyber Arabs, an organization based in Lebanon that monitors Internet freedom and provides cybersecurity training in the Middle-East and North Africa, confirmed to Mashable that Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are all blocked inside Iraq.
"We are disturbed by reports of access issues in Iraq and are investigating," a Facebook spokesperson tells Mashable. "Limiting access to Internet services — essential for communication and commerce for millions of people — is a matter of concern for the global community."
“We're seeing reports that some users are not able to access YouTube in Iraq," a YouTube spokesperson tells Mashable. "There is no technical issue on our side and we’re looking into the situation.”
A Twitter spokesperson says the company is looking into the reports as well.
