ποΈ Three months ago today #Iran shut off access to the global internet. While connectivity has now largely returned, metrics indicate that users still face heavy filtering, similar to the interim period between the January protests and the start of the war.

βΉοΈ #Iran's internet connectivity has now been in a state of restoration for 24 hours. Service remains heavily filtered, with new restrictions on messaging and app stores compared to pre-January. Calls for a free and open internet transcend political divisions and should be heard.

π«Ά Welcome back #Iran! Metrics show a further rise in connectivity as mobile networks and other segments are reconnected to the global internet:
β’ Filternet remains in place but can be worked around
β’ WhatsApp now restricted, requiring circumvention
β’ Some users still offline

π Confirmed: Live metrics show a partial restoration to internet connectivity in #Iran on day 88, after 2093 hours of near-total isolation from international networks, the longest nationwide internet shutdown in modern history. It is unclear if the restoration will be sustained.

β οΈ Internet connectivity remains cut in #Iran with the digital blackout now having entered its 88th day, surpassing 2088 hours of isolation from the outside world. Metrics confirm the shutdown currently remains in effect despite the president's order yesterday to restore access.

βοΈ It's now the 87th consecutive day of #Iran's internet blackout which has been in place for over 2064 hours. The measure has eliminated any transparency around executions, adding to the inhumane conditions and daily uncertainty faced by jailed critics, dissidents and tourists.

π Internet connectivity has just been cut across #Iraq except the north for the second time in a week, with ~2 hour shutdowns applied as part of a longstanding policy to limit cheating and leaks during school exams. The measure is disruptive and anachronistic in the digital age.
51 332
β¬οΈ #Iran's internet blackout is now in its 86th day as the population remains in digital darkness after 2040 hours.
While access to the global internet remains largely cut during peace talks, select whitelisted users project a synthetic view of Iranian life to the outside world.
51 332
ποΈ Network data show #Iran's internet blackout is entering its 13th week after surpassing 2016 hours of digital isolation from the outside world.
Daily life for most Iranians is now shaped by the loss of opportunities and access to information others can reach in seconds.
51 332
βοΈ #Iran's internet blackout has just entered its 84th day with international networks largely cut off for over 1992 hours.
Each passing hour widens social and economic divides as any contact with the outside world is gated by status, compliance and privilege.
51 332
π’ Metrics show the internet blackout in #Iran has now entered its 83rd day with international networks largely barred for over 1968 hours. A free and open internet is central to the protection of life, liberty and public accountability.
51 332
β οΈ Confirmed: Metrics show that internet connectivity was cut across most of #Iraq except the north for ~2 hours this morning. The policy, in place for years, is presented as a way to stop leaking and cheating in school exams but disproportionately impacts users and businesses.
51 332
π It's now the 82nd day of #Iran's digital blackout, with the country still largely cut off from the global internet after 1944 hours.
In an era when a disconnection lasting minutes would be a crisis, Iran continues to shatter records, destroying livelihoods and eroding rights.

βοΈ The #Iran internet blackout is now in its 81st day after 1920 hours. Meanwhile, the regime is attempting to extend its digital chokehold internationally, demanding control over other countries' cables in the Strait of Hormuz and big tech compliance with Islamic Republic laws.
51 332
ποΈ Today marks the 80th day of #Iran's internet blackout, with the shutdown passing 1896 hours. Meanwhile, pro-regime content floods social media, as Iranians seeking to get pro/whitelist access say they are being asked to meet a quota of daily propaganda posts, policed by AI.
51 332
πΆ Metrics show that #Iran's internet blackout is ongoing into its 79th day in its twelfth week. The mass-censorship measure has reshaped the nature of civic participation with information controls being used to relegate the general public to mere observers in their own country.
51 332
π #Iran's digital isolation is now entering its 77th day as the internet blackout passes 1824 hours. The measure presents an emerging mental health risk to the public, who are largely cut off from online platforms, communications, and normal interaction with the outside world.
51 332
π΅ The internet blackout in #Iran has entered its 76th day after 1800 hours. The measure is built on a class-based tiered system where the select few are granted access while the general public are silenced, the very kind of social structure Iranian authorities claim to oppose.
51 332
πΈ #Iran's internet blackout is now past hour 1776, entering its 75th day. The digital censorship measure has led to profiteering and a decline in digital security as government-backed "pro" internet schemes and selective whitelisting result in surveillance, corruption and scams.
