@ABC Iran is experiencing a massive communications blackout. Internet access has been shut down, VPNs blocked, satellite connections disrupted, and international calls limited. Nearly 90 million people are cut off from the world. This level of isolation should alarm everyone.
Gaza’s blackout was front-page news worldwide. A days long shutdown rightly triggered statements from the UN, nonstop coverage, and outrage from politicians and celebrities. Yet Iran has been living under one of the longest and most severe digital blackouts on earth and somehow it is treated like a side story. Why is a blackout in Gaza a global emergency but a weeks long blackout in Iran barely registers in headlines or political talking points. If cutting off millions from the internet in one war zone is unacceptable it has to be unacceptable in Iran too. WHAT in the world is going on?

Dear Elon,
In these critical days, the people of Iran need internet access. Please help them stay connected as they struggle to reclaim their country from the rule of the mullahs. Stand with the Iranian people. Iran will not forget its friends.
Report of two nurses being raped simply for doing their honorable duty, is not just another piece of news.
It is a sign of the collapse of humanity!
Evil does not always begin with a crime; it often begins with silence.
With wounds that remain in the memory of time.
The crimes committed against Iranians will not be erased from the dark pages of history.

Dear @elonmusk & @Apple, 📢
The hardware for free information is already in the pockets of millions of Iranians. Most smartphones in Iran support LTE Band 2, which is compatible with Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell (Band 25).
📢 We urge:
1️⃣ @SpaceX: To enable D2C coverage over Iran’s skies. 🛰️
2️⃣ @Apple: To activate NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) satellite scanning in iOS for Iran, just like the Emergency SOS feature.
No dishes needed. No hardware smuggling required. Just a software handshake to bypass the digita blackout and save lives. 🆘
Connect the Iranian people. Let them speak. Let them survive.🌐

قطع اینترنت برای میلیونها نفر، یک جنایت است.
ایران ۱۷ روز است که در تاریکی دیجیتال به سر میبرد.
جهان باید خواستار برقراری فوری دسترسی به اینترنت شود.
Cutting off the internet for millions is a crime.
Iran has been in digital darkness for 17 days.
The world must demand immediate restoration of internet access.

🆘 Iran is under a total #DigitalBlackout. Millions are being silenced while atrocities are hidden.
@elonmusk@Starlink, we need your urgent support to bypass this censorship. Connectivity is a lifeline, not a luxury
