How does this compare to other countries and regions in digital darkness?

Iran is the first country to have had internet connectivity and then subsequently lost it by reverting to a national network, while others such as North Korea have skipped the connected phase and been internationally isolated for longer...

Intermittent digital shutdown incidents such as Myanmar, and those experiencing restoration after several weeks like Sudan, and sub-national incidents like Kashmir and Tigray have also been recorded over a longer period.

Wartime damage to infrastructure in countries at war like Ukraine and Gaza has also resulted in extended reductions in connectivity due to damaged infrastructure, resulting in an observable reduction in users though no war is known to have sent an entire country offline.

Hopefully Trump wipes this evil regime from the world as soon as possible!

@netblocks Maybe they are just running a national internet? A nan... If they have their own IX that seems quite doable.

... and maybe actually a good idea. After all who needs the US on their internet?

@fubaroque @netblocks if you’re being attacked by the US it makes a ton of sense to shrink your IP surface area down to a minimum, protect your squishy and vulnerable civilian service providers, and hopefully block off Western intelligence C&C channels like Tor.
