⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered its 40th day after 936 hours of near-total disconnection from the outside world.
The wartime censorship measure continues even as the US and Iran regimes each declare victory, with the Iranian people once again left in the dark.
⚠️ Update: The internet blackout in #Iran is entering its 38th day with the general public now cut off from international networks for over 888 hours.
The measure leaves Iranians without access to independent sources of information relating to the war or global news events.
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.
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...
🗓️ Exactly five weeks ago on Saturday 28 February, #Iran cut off access to the global internet.
The measure remains in place, entering day 36 after 840 hours, isolating the general public as authorities explore ways to give chosen users access via a tiered whitelisting system.
