⚠️ Confirmed: Network data show the loss of connectivity on #Iran internet backbone provider TCI in the restive city of Kermanshah as protests spread across the nation in their 12th day; the incident comes amid rising casualties with indications of disruptions in multiple regions
⚠️ Update: Live network data show #Tehran and other parts of Iran are now entering a digital blackout, as internet connectivity falls on multiple providers; the new incident follows regional shutdowns, and is likely to severely limit coverage of events on the ground as protests spread 📉
⚠️ Confirmed: Live metrics show #Iran is now in the midst of a nationwide internet blackout; the incident follows a series of escalating digital censorship measures targeting protests across the country and hinders the public's right to communicate at a critical moment 📉
I am Iranian and I study abroad. My entire family lives in Iran Today I completely lost contact with them and only through the NetBlocks account did I find out that Iran has entirely shut down the internet! I created this account today to share my opinion about what is being done to the people in my country And these awful reactions only made me feel worse! This level of zero sympathy is disappointing
⚠️ Update: #Iran has now been offline for 12 hours with national connectivity flatlining at ~1% of ordinary levels, after authorities imposed a nationwide internet blackout in an attempt to suppress sweeping protests while covering up reports of regime brutality 📉
⚠️ Update: It has now been 24 hours since #Iran implemented a nationwide internet shutdown, with connectivity flatlining at 1% of ordinary levels. The ongoing digital blackout violates the fundamental rights and liberties of Iranians while masking regime violence ⏱
⚠️ Update: It's now 8:00 am in #Iran where the sun is rising after another night of protests met with repression; metrics show the nationwide internet blackout remains in place at 36 hours, severely limiting Iranians' ability to check on the safety of friends and loved ones 📵
⚠️ Mise à jour : Il est maintenant 8h00 en #Iran où le soleil se lève après une nouvelle nuit de manifestations réprimées ; les mesures montrent que la coupure nationale d'Internet est toujours en place depuis 36 heures, limitant sévèrement la capacité des Iraniens à vérifier la sécurité de leurs amis et de leurs proches 📵.
Though, to be fair, the lockdown can also be said to be *enhancing* public safety by inhibiting the communication of agents provacateur from Israël, USA, etc who are trying to destabilize the place.
Internet traffic in Iran has dropped to effectively zero as of 18:45 UTC (22:15 PM local time), signaling a complete shutdown in the country, and disconnection from the global Internet. Iran regime...
⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet shutdown is entering its fourth day with connectivity to the outside world remaining at just 1% of ordinary levels; at 72 hours, diminished telecoms continue to impact the public's ability to access information and communicate with loved ones ⏱️
⚠️ Update: #Iran has now been offline for 96 hours, limiting reporting and accountability over civilian deaths as Iranians protest and demand change; fixed-line internet, mobile data and calls are disabled, while other communication means are also increasingly being targeted ⌛️
⚠️ Mise à jour : #L'Iran est maintenant hors ligne depuis 96 heures, ce qui limite la communication et la responsabilité concernant les morts de civils, alors que les Iraniens protestent et demandent des changements ; l'internet fixe, les données mobiles et les appels sont désactivés, tandis que d'autres moyens de communication sont également de plus en plus ciblés ⌛️
⚠️ Update: It has been 108 hours since #Iran introduced a nationwide internet shutdown leaving Iranians isolated from the rest of the world and each other 📉
The rights to free speech and free assembly are inviolable and must be protected #DigitalBlackoutIran
The iranian people already had a revolution and freed themselves from theocracy, THEN THE US OVERTHREW THEIR REVOLUTION and installed another theocrat. Whatever happens in Iran, the US needs to stay the fuck out.
⚠️ Update: Metrics show #Iran remains offline as the country wakes to another day of digital darkness.
With the internet blackout now past its 132nd hour, early reports indicate thousands of casualties. The true extent of the killings is masked by the absence of connectivity.
⚠️ Update: Network data show the #Iran has now entered the seventh day of a near-total telecoms blackout, with the incident passing the 144-hour mark; the disruption ranks among the longest on record and continues to isolate over ninety million Iranians from the outside world
Profitez des vidéos et de la musique que vous aimez, mettez en ligne des contenus originaux, et partagez-les avec vos amis, vos proches et le monde entier.
⚠️ Update: At 180 hours, the total internet blackout in #Iran now exceeds the core duration of the 2019 shutdown, and there is still no partial or regional restoration.
It was only after connectivity was restored in 2019 that the scale of the brutal crackdown became known.
There's no accessibility to internet in Iran. I'm an iranian student in a foreign country which was not able to call or even message my family since 9th of january. No goverment in europe or even our neighbors cares about the situation and human rights is a hilarious joke. Many people are killed in the protest all around the country.
⚠️ Update: Metrics show a very slight rise in internet connectivity in #Iran this morning after the 200 hour mark. However, overall connectivity remains at ~2% of ordinary levels and there is no indication of a significant return.
⚠️ Update: Internet connectivity continues to flatline in #Iran despite a minor short-lived bump in access earlier today, when new reports of atrocities emerged.
As the shutdown enters day ten, confusion surrounds whether the regime intends to restore service soon, or at all.
