Iran is the first country to ban Pokémon Go for ‘security concerns’

Iran’s supreme council of virtual spaces — yes that really is a real thing — has announced that Pokémon Go has been banned from the country.

This news stems from a BBC report that cites “unspecified security concerns,” as the main reason for the Pocket Monster collecting game being removed from the country.

The dystopian sounding regulatory body that passes judgment on internet related decisions in the region, says that the council was “waiting to see what extent the game’s creators would cooperate with them.”
