Facebook violates its own TOS as it released Persian Version

It appears that Facebook might have pushed itself a bit too much to help people in Iran as it released the Persian version of the social network. It appears that the present move has violated its own terms of use. The clause states that one cannot use Facebook if one is located in a country under embargo from the U.S or are in the list of U.S Treasury Department’s of Specially Designated Nationals. Although users in numerous countries that are under embargo can still access the network from those countries. I am not sure what action will be taken in this regard, but there is a very low probability that any action will taken against this and that Facebook will have to make a few changes to its terms of use as it continues its expansion across the globe.
