Just days into 2026 and #Iran is adding to its $215 million 2025 internet shutdown bill https://www.top10vpn.com/research/cost-of-internet-shutdowns/
I'm really excited to share my new Cost of Internet Shutdowns report for 2025. It was a big year, an almost $20bn economic hit, much of it from #Russia, which took more big steps towards its RuNet endgame. #Venezuela as No.2 thanks to an extended blockade of X, plus shorter bans of #TikTok & #Telegram, that drained ~$2bn from its economy https://www.top10vpn.com/research/cost-of-internet-shutdowns/ #KeepItOn #InternetShutdowns #censorship #Internet #twitter
