Iran online sales fall 80% during internet shutdown, union head says
Iran’s internet shutdown has cut online business sales by as much as 80%, the head of the union of virtual businesses said on Wednesday, warning of serious damage to the digital economy.
“Many online businesses have seen their sales fall by up to 80%,” Reza Olfatnasab said.
About one million people earn a living directly through sales on social media platforms and are now in limbo, he said.
“If this situation continues, it can really push the digital economy toward destruction,” Olfatnasab added.
