It just references the same underlying event, which your own source reports to be a counter-protest, directly falsifying your claim.

So could you please provide evidence for that? I specifically mean evidence that those other protests are:

- insignificant in size or are significantly less numerous;

- artificially orchestrated;

- Zionist in nature?

No competent network engineer wants to work in Iran, so government doesn't know how to block v6 properly. End result: just get rid of it entirely!

Two counterintuitive/surprising lessons I've come to appreciate: 1.Talent pools in nation states are extraordinarily deep-- much deeper than they appear. Countries can suffer from brain drain for decades (or centuries!) but when conditions call for it, superbly talented people somehow manifest. 2. The correlation between talent and conscience is weak. Nation states always manage to find superbly talented people to wo…

Counter-intuitive? The primary motivation for fretting about Brain Drain (whether it is true or not is secondary) is because the people who fret about it are educated professionals, precisely the people who are prone to build their identity around the idea that society thrives and succumbs based on their own existence.

The same people who have unironically latched onto the idea of Meritocracy. A concept/idea that was literally conceived as a parody.

That doesn’t mean Iran did that. Israel has been preparing to attack Iran again, and cyberattacks on their internet are a pretty obvious first step.

I see. You seem quite sure that Iran is not doing this - do you have some local source of information? My friends there said the government does shut down the internet at times (but I am not currently in communication with them...)

The people claiming Iran shut down the internet are the same people lying about the protests, even going so far as to post pro-government protests and mislabel them as anti-government protests. Israel is prepping to attack Iran and the fake “protests” are one of the first steps. We’re being lied to with impunity.

Yeah I am suprised everyone thinks this is necessarily internal. Could equally be related to IL/USA incoming aggression. I'd at least keep an open mind for a while.

An attack would probably undermine the protests. From a strategy perspective, probably the last thing Israel/USA want to do is give the Iranian regime a common enemy to rally around in the midst of a protest that might plausibly over throw the Iranian regime.

They attacked Iran a little while ago. But now they are playing it cool like a cucumber?

There are no anti-government “protests” anywhere near as large as what I posted. I can’t disprove something that never existed in the first place. As for Zionist in nature, 100% of the people falsely claiming there are massive anti Iran protests are militant Zionists.

This is a good account for coverage: https://x.com/AryJeay/status/2009336400198484306 Some protests are also pro Iranian government, but being framed as anti: https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/2009148051663815165 And this was Tel Aviv two days ago: https://x.com/ZahraHamidia/status/2008620128351715644 Much bigger protests in Israel, but without the propaganda spin and artificial reach.

Nice accounts you got there. Obvious trolling.

DropSite news is not a troll, and neither are the other accounts. They’ve done some of the best reporting about Gaza available.

I would like people not to get killed when they protest I would like the internet not to get shut down during the protest Am I asking too much?

No, it's just exactly what CIA/Mossad are asking for, too - you're in good company

You think I am CIA/Mossad for asking people not to get killed when they protest? I expected HN community to be better. Shame.

But anti-government protests you do acknowledge exist. What's preventing you from referencing those to demonstrate that they are small and few in comparison? What's preventing you from demonstrating that they're Israeli orchestrated like you're claiming?

> 100% of the people falsely claiming there are massive anti Iran protests are militant Zionists.

So your evidence is just you being 100% certain?

Edit:

In reply, you inquired if I myself was a Zionist, and if I thought Israel had a right to exist. Your post was flagged before I could formulate a response.

I'm not a Zionist. Not for any principled reason mind you, but because up until half an hour ago I did not even know what it was about exactly. Had to look it up.

Regarding your second question, I don't think countries come into existence by having some sort of (moral or legal) right to do so, so that's a bit of a loaded question I'm thus not able to answer.

I really don't know why I even bothered to answer these with honesty, you clearly did not ask in good faith. Should have just dodged them like you did with my questions.

How effectively can they share data domestically during blackouts?

Carrier pigeons. And hamsters. Don't underestimate the hamsters.

Especially ones in a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.

But seriously?

There are some pretty big protests happening right now: https://bsky.app/profile/chadbourn.bsky.social/post/3mbvphn4...

That doesn't explain why they would want to block IPv6 specifically , and not also block IPv4.

It could be as simple as their surveillance / censorship tools not fully supporting IPv6.
