Prolonged Internet Outage in Iran

The internet service disruption in Iran has now extended to nearly 70 days. According to data published by the internet monitoring service NetBlocks, Iranian civilians have been experiencing prolonged restrictions on internet access. This growing desperation for online connectivity has led some Iranians to attempt connecting through Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and Starlink satellite dishes. However, such attempts carry significant risks.

Global Protests Scheduled

With increasing international concern over Iran's internet control, global demonstrations are scheduled for this Sunday. These protests aim to draw attention to the internet outage and object to the Iranian government's control over online access. The office of the exiled Crown Prince is planning these international protests, which are seen as an effort to increase external pressure regarding the situation inside Iran.
