Iran blackout passes 300 hours to 'obscure the truth', NetBlocks says
More than 300 hours have passed since Iran imposed a nationwide internet blackout, an internet monitoring group said, adding that the restrictions are aimed at concealing abuses and controlling information as protests continues.
“Attempts to obscure the truth will be documented in real time: The world is watching,” NetBlocks said.
It added that Iran’s authorities are keeping most of the country offline while allowing limited access through “whitelisted” networks, and the government is also seeking to influence views abroad by placing opinion pieces.
