    The irony of using the intrnt to track the world’s longst intrnt shutdown.

  2. Is this before or after the US destroyed most of the communications infrastructure, under the guise of destroying Command and control network of the regime?

  3. We’re just ignoring North Korea and their closed intranet now? The people in NK haven’t seen the world wide web since 2000.

    It’s crazy how literally everything that comes out of Iran is straight up regime propaganda because the only the regime has internet access and Westerners just spreading it anyway.

    Can’t we just take turns. I think the world could use a few weeks without the internet.

    It is to control the online narrative about war. From the article:

    “The shutdown was imposed by the ruling mullah regime on February 28 in the wake of attacks by the USA and Israel on the country. The longest internet shutdown in Iranian history to date was only imposed in January following mass protests against the regime in Tehran. The background was mass protests that the regime brutally suppressed. According to media reports, there were around 30,000 deaths.”

  8. So far. I think it’s worth noting that USA has the most advanced cyber warfare capabilities on the planet. If WW3 ever actually sparks, the US has many cards up its sleeves that aren’t ever used or officially known about

    Shutting off the internet, cell phones, electrical grids, that’s all child’s play

  9. “longest in world history” as if the internet has been around for thousands of years

    *”Longest in world history”* is cenveniently ignoring the fact human history has long outpaced the existence of the internet. Mankind has spent more time without internet than with it.
