در گفت‌وگو با صدای آمریکا درباره وضعیت اینترنت در ایران گفتم:
مشکل فقط فیلترینگ نیست، کل ساختار کنترل است.
تنها راه سریع و عملی برای داشتن اینترنت آزاد: رفتن جمهوری اسلامی. @NFPmedia #DigitalBlackOutIran

Stealth signals, hidden in satellite TV broadcasts, are helping bypass Iran’s internet blackout, keeping information flowing when nearly all connectivity is cut.
I wrote about this emerging method and its implications for access and resilience:

Just spoke with @faznet about @TooshehApp, how we use satellite TV to bypass censorship and deliver uncensored information to millions in Iran, even during internet shutdowns.

Read more about this week's joint letter to HFAC leadership in @FreeBeacon. NFP is proud to stand with fellow organizations fighting for freedom of information in #Iran.

Iranians have surpassed 600 hours of #DigitalBlackOutIran. While Starlink prices are prohibitively high in Iran, organizations like @NFPmedia are providing access for users on the ground.

📜NFP's @FirooziEvan joined a group of freedom advocates this week in sending a letter to the House Foreign Affairs Committee in support of legislation to increase Internet freedom and human rights for #Iran. We continue to stand behind the Iranian people's quest for freedom.

Thanks to public support, @NFPmedia has delivered 38 Starlink terminals to Iran since January, helping Iranians stay connected despite the #DigitalBlackOutIran.
No government funding, powered entirely by public donations. Read our report: drive.google.com/file/d/1kK1… @TooshehSTAR

می‌توانید برنامه #مهساالرت را هر روز از طریق بسته‌های توشه دریافت و نصب کنید.
در این بسته‌ها، نسخه به‌روز برنامه به همراه نقشه‌ها و اطلاعات جدید قرار داده می‌شود تا بتوانید حتی بدون اینترنت از امکانات برنامه استفاده کنید و از مناطق پرخطر دوری کنید.

📡See @TooshehApp highlighted in the latest of @HooverInst's Liberty Amplified series!
“When people are disconnected, hope alone cannot reconnect them. They need tools.”
Shokufeh Mahini of Hoover's Human Security Project spotlights digital "knapsacks", a technological innovation that slips communications past Iran’s rigid censorship to deliver hope and information to Iranians cut off from the internet.

With all eyes on Iran, @NFPmedia and @TooshehApp are still actively helping people every day. If you missed my piece in January, read more in @IranIntl_En below:
There are solutions in place to help Iranians pierce through the digital darkness, but there is more work to be done. As the #DigitalBlackoutIran continues, the regime continues its massacre.
More on this & @NFPmedia’s work in my piece for @IranIntl_En:

می‌تونید اپلیکیشن #مهساالرت رو هر روز از طریق «توشه» دریافت کنید.
این نسخه آفلاین هست و با دانلود نقشه، بدون نیاز به اینترنت می‌تونید از مکان‌های پرخطر و همین‌طور نقاط سرکوب نزدیک خودتون باخبر بشید.
لطفاً ریتوییت کنید. این اپلیکیشن می‌تونه در روزهای پیش رو حیاتی و کمک‌کننده باشه
اپ توشه را حتما نصب کنید تا در زمان قطعی اینترنت بتونید راه‌های احتمالی اتصال به اینترنت + مطالب به دردبخور دیگر را از این طریق دریافت کنید.
توجه: درصورت قطعی اینترنت و نصب نداشتن اپ توشه روی گوشی یا کامپیوتر شخصی، قادر به استخراج مطالب ذخیره شده روی usb فلش نیستید! پس همین الان نصب کنید.

It was a pleasure talking to @Breaking_Battle with @FirooziEvan about the current uprising in Iran, Internet shutdowns, and @NFPmedia’s work to increase access to information.

I joined @EmiliaCJames on @Breaking_Battle to talk about Iran’s internet shutdowns, Starlinks on the ground, Toosheh’s role, and the fight to keep people connected under repression. youtu.be/uzZQl9wqzgM?si=VBKO…
The #DigitalBlackoutIran continues. More stories are emerging of what is taking place under the cover of darkness in #Iran:
As Iran went dark, eyewitnesses sent horrifying accounts of mass killings to the diaspora. Democracy and internet freedom activist Mehdi Yahyanejad explains what his sources inside Iran are reporting. You can watch Eye for Iran: youtube.com/watch?v=saZD8o_L…
"The restrictions ... remain largely in place, leaving satellite systems, one-way tools like @TooshehApp and trusted circumvention software as the primary lifelines for both Iranians and those trying to document events from abroad." @IranIntl @EmiliaCJames

Nach wochenlanger Internetblockade melden sich vereinzelt Iraner online wieder zu Wort. Doch der Shutdown ist damit nicht vorbei. Er ist wohl erst der Anfang. trib.al/rkNX1eg
"It's beyond anything you can imagine. Because of the Internet blackout, you still haven't seen all the videos."
Listen to this @NPR segment to hear a protestor in Iran share the horror he has experienced. @ArezouRezvani @mehdiy_fa #DigitalBlackoutIran
