I remember reading about how Venezuela had an internet blackout preceding US attack, presumably the blackout was an attack by US "cyber". Ah, here we are. https://securitybrief.co.uk/story/us-cyber-attack-on-venezue... The discussion here assumes that the Iranian government is responsible for this blackout. I actually don't understand enough about network routing to undestand the OP dashboard linked to or be able to…

#252How many conspiracy theories can people suggest instead of accepting that peaceful Iranians want to live and not be concerned that they won't have water or food to eat

They are almost completely inaccessible to the average Iranian. A friend of mine who has come a long way to fight Iranian censorship told me that they essentially don't exist.
There are ~100,000 users, about 0.1% of the population: https://www.newsweek.com/starlink-usage-iran-skyrockets-brea... Compare that to the number of cell phone users which is very close to 100%. All estimates of the number of mobile subscribers or number of mobile phone numbers are greater than the total population.
Possibly the number of users is even larger, if people can share a terminal. Wifi 802.11s Mesh with Batman routing scales very well to huge sizes.

They must be smuggled inside the country and the dictatorship can say anything they want and charge if they get caught so they must be very few in numbers I don't know too much about starlink but is there a way that someone can pay for other person's usage and then build a starlink receiver or something from spare parts or like easy accesible parts from the world? Because how would people get starlink device. I dont…
I wonder how easy is it to get contraband into the country. The country's huge, and with the current govt not being the most popular or financially well off, I guess there are quite a few border officers willing to make some extra money.

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.
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, yo…

Iran does not have that capability. But that would also be an act of war.
Flinging spacejunk pollution into orbit is extremely simple if you have rockets. Iran has lots of rockets. Iran also has basically zero of their own satellites in orbit that they care about. Spacejunk is a highly asymmetric tactic.
they do have satellites. I'm less sure about how much they care about them - but they are not cheap

#259Can'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/
Sure, a US invasion of Iran would undoubtedly lead to good things. And how can you say the Kurds are friends of the USA (I'm presuming you mean friends of the USA) given how many times they've been abandoned? Just take a look at what happened to Libya, sometimes removing a "bad person" will cause a far worse situation to evolve. Like literal human slavery. I will never cease to be amazed at the amnesia that arises wh…
Even as we speak Kurds are getting attacked near Aleppo by US-backed ex-Al-Qaeda president of Syria.
