Wow its so nice this excuse just happens to shut down the internet when an astronomically unpopular regime faces vast protests after years of economic and political mismanagement

Apparently a lot of people in the west too are assuming that these protests are fueled by the west. At least that's the most likely explanation for why so many left leaning youth are not supporting Iranians while supporting Palestine. Apparently the fight is not about freedom but about (perceived) whiteness vs non-whiteness

No, they're just better educated about Iran than are you.

Iran provides substantial food, fuel, education and healthcare subsidies to the average citizen and has a very effective state bureaucracy which functions independent of political appointees. Pensioners' checks are issued regularly and social services are delivered by charitable "Bonyads", which are run by local mosques, which don't report to any government ministries.

Can't wait for a certain dictator to get a cellmate, so that our Persian and Kurdish friends can have freedom, including free unrestricted internet access. And for fellow HN users from there, here's some great stuff: https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ https://bitchat.free/

Yes, both Venezuela and (in your hypothetical) Iran would certainly be better and not worse after US intervention. How could they not, with such a great track record (Iraq, Lybia, Chile, Guatemala,...)!

How is that working out?

Israel is a terrorist regime that commits genocide against Palestinians. What use is it if the ones fighting it are terrorists as well? In your hypothetical world where Iran is the strongest regional power, what does that accomplish? The Palestinians trade Israeli and Hamas's oppression for being a protectorate of the Islamic Republic of Iran? I never really understood this line of thinking.

Tor can reach IPv6 destinations through IPv4 entry nodes, if that's what your asking.

IPv4 is sanctioned/heavily restricted in iran as well, I mean very high filtering The reason they didn't do this for ipv6 is because ipv6 obviously has a lot more addresses and so they just ended up blocking it whole. Atleast that's what I read in one of the comment threads discussions in here I don't think that in iran there would still be any available ipv4 entry nodes that they would allow. They would filter/block…

Right, I should have written "IPv4 bridges" (which can be obfuscated and distributed out of band), not "IPv4 entry nodes": https://bridges.torproject.org/

But you can reach the IPv6 internet through those too.

Wow, that's a lot of Israeli operatives. Sounds like there are more Mossad agents living in Iran than there are Israelis living in Israel!

I mean, it’s not a lot. That’s the whole point. There’s not “massive protests”. Pure fiction.

If there weren't protests, Iran wouldn't have cut the internet. And besides, the BBC has videos of them: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgm4y0ewe93o

The discussion about Starlink is interesting, but with only ~0.1% of the population having access, the real story is the 99.9% who are cut off right now. The asymmetry between those who can broadcast to the world and those who can't is staggering — and even among that 0.1%, many are too afraid to broadcast anything, knowing the risks.

The key is that the 99% can transfer data and such internally to the country; the 0.1% can then leak it out.

but, regrettably, at a trickle

I'm an Iranian and this protest is very different because it's not about a specific government policy ... It's about the totality of the regime. Unfortunately, government has been following the same old brutal playbook by killing protesters and cutting off the Internet.

that would make it much more suspicious the protests are being orchestrated from outside by CIA/Mossad...

The "regime" is a republic with regularly held presidential (8 presidents in 45 years) and parliamentary elections. What would you like to replace it with? Monarchy
