Iran is now bringing its own technology-based internet system, bypassing the world. There will be separate social media, its own invented search engine and even messaging apps. Where the state will have complete control over information and communication. Although the opportunity to use international internet services will be completely limited. International media outlets have claimed this, citing the internet monitoring organization Filterwatch.
\nBasically, protests have been going on in Iran since the end of December. Although the protests started with demands for economic reforms, they gradually turned into anti-government public anger. In this, the United States and Israel were accused of using the internet and social media to incite the protesters. As a result, the movement became the most violent protest in the country’s history.
\nTo suppress the protests, the Iranian government shut down internet services across the country on January 8. When the protesters illegally established internet connections through Starlink, this also became ineffective. In this, the Khamenei administration succeeded in calming public anger to a large extent.
\nIn such a situation, Tehran is gradually preparing to withdraw from the global internet system. Internet watchdog Filterwatch says that for this purpose, the country’s government is going to launch a separate internet system based on its own technology. Where control of information and communication will be completely in the hands of the state.
\nNot only that, Iran’s national internet system will include a government-approved search engine, messaging platform and navigation services. In addition, there are plans to bring Iran’s own streaming site like Netflix.
\nHowever, access to the international internet will be completely limited. Only those with security clearances or who have passed a government verification process will be able to use this service. In contrast, ordinary citizens will be able to use the state-controlled national internet.
\nNotably, Iran has been under a complete internet blackout for more than 200 hours in 10 days. Which is one of the longest government-controlled shutdowns in the world. Monitoring organization Netblocks claims that the country now has no functional internet connection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
