This was an incredible moment. Loudest chants of “USA, USA” I’ve ever heard after Iranian opposition leader Prince Reza Pahlavi said, “Imagine Iran going from “death to America’ to “God Bless America.”
I received this message from Iran today:
“Nabaut for God’s sake, do something about the internet. After a month I was finally able to connect with a lot of difficulties and it cost me so much. Please, do something for the internet connection of Iranians.”
People in Iran have been cut off from the world for nearly a month, living in silence, fear, and complete isolation.
And today, the government announced that anyone who connects to the internet is considered a criminal and will be punished.
This is not just censorship. This is collective punishment.
