There are no statistics, but almost everyone use them. Facebook is very popular in Iran. Even there were some debates in parliament and government about not filtering it.

In Iran there are restrictions on downloading articles from IEEE and ACM databases, not that we cannot access them, but our universities cannot renew their subscriptions. But there are always some ways to get what you need. It won't be different for Coursera. But it's not fair, because facebook, youtube, gmail and services like these are always available, and in here people are very good at hating US for making these differences.
