The world has gone mad. There are wars everywhere. We are not even talking about demonstrations in every corner of the globe. People want more. The governments don’t allow it. Everything turned upside down. The demonstrations in Iran are the best proof of the words above. Everything began on September 16, when a 22-year-old “violated” the local strict dress code for women. After that, police shoot her down. The case with Mahsa Amini made Iranians go outside. It’s already been a week or so since there are demonstrations across the country. Today, we learned that the Iranian government had blocked access to Instagram and WhatsApp. This is a necessary step to subdue protests.
Iranian Government Restricts Web Access And Communication
Recently, Reuters reported that the Iranian government had gradually restricted access to various web platforms in the country. For instance, on September 19, they extended restrictions to parts of the western Kurdistan province. On Wednesday, Iran completely restricted access to WhatsApp and Instagram. All regions in the country can’t use these apps at the moment. A few residents from various parts of Iran, including Tehran, said they have limited communication capabilities. They can only send text messages but not pictures on WhatsApp. At the same time, Instagram is completely blocked.
