🗓️ Exactly one month ago on Saturday morning, 28 February, #Iran was plunged into digital darkness as authorities cut off access to the global internet.

After four full weeks, 672 hours, the blackout remains in effect, violating Iranians' right to communicate and stay informed.

@netblocks You are repeating US governmental line, complaining about their diminished insurgency propaganda capacity.

@pegdhcp @netblocks The Internet of Iran has been shut down for over four weeks. That's a confirmable fact.

@pegdhcp @netblocks Maybe you don't know this, but as an Iranian, I know that for the past 4 years, digital blackout means lots of people getting killed, phones and security camera footage being grabbed, and another massacre hidden. This doesn't invalidate your insurgence argument, but Iran also *does* use these periods to wage war on its own citizens.

@parham_d @netblocks Dear sir, I am aware of that and while loving your country and people frankly hate your government. The point is, as a Turkish citizen, 30+ years of my 56 years life passed with undeclared war against insurgency supported by US, UK and to a lower extend Germany and France. As such, I do not wish the same problems upon you, on top of your existing problems and sad history with Pahlavi family, Savak etc.

@pegdhcp @netblocks Thanks a lot for the detailed answer. Having to deal with insurgence when you like what you have is definitely a problem I understand. The difference I think is that I'm not aware, fortunately, of any other country in recent history killing over 30K of its own people and gang-raping nurses and a lot more things in internet blackouts. I'm not sure if the current regime is any better than Pahlavi and its Savak, if not worse. (1/2)
