Iran’s internet shutdown is chillingly precise and may last some time

The Iranian government's ability to execute such a targeted internet shutdown reflects a growing trend of state control over digital communications in response to civil unrest. This level of precision not only highlights the regime's technological capabilities but also raises concerns about the implications for free speech and civil liberties. As protests continue, the prolonged nature of this blackout could further escalate tensions between the government and its citizens, as well as draw international scrutiny.
