Iran has started censoring images posted on photo sharing app Instagram, removing content deemed “offensive” as part of a government project to screen social networking accounts, AFP reported Thursday, citing Iranian local media.


“The filtering of pages with immoral content began yesterday (Wednesday) evening on Instagram,” the government daily Iran was quoted as having said.


The Shargh newspaper said that access to other posts was still possible.


“With the successful filtering of offensive content on social networks, it is no long necessary to completely block them and users can access the site properly,” it added.
