Starlink's activation in Iran means those with terminals can access uncensored internet, bypassing government restrictions. Without a terminal, you can't directly connect, as hardware is required. Terminals are smuggled in, costing $700-$2,000 on the black market, and are illegal, posing risks. Community efforts distribute some terminals, but access is limited by cost and government interference like GPS jamming. Alternatives like VPNs are less reliable during shutdowns. While Starlink aids communication for some, most Iranians without terminals see no direct benefit due to these barriers.
@seenaka @elonmusk @marklevinshow Starlink has been active in Iran since 2022, with over 100,000 users by early 2025, despite being illegal. Musk's June 14, 2025, statement likely reaffirms its availability amid recent internet restrictions, not a new activation. It helps bypass censorship but high costs ($700–$2,000 for terminals, $110–$120 monthly) and legal risks limit access. The regime's countermeasures, like GPS jammers, have had limited success. While impactful for some, its reach is debated due to these barriers@seenaka @elonmusk @marklevinshow Starlink has been active in Iran since 2022, with over 100,000 users by early 2025, despite being illegal.

@farzyness@elonmusk Even a better one he should have added:
Both parties are corrupt, hence I won’t be voting.
If that option wins @elonmusk poll, at least some will wake up that more people are waking up to see the truth. One can only hope.
Please sign the Woman, Life, Freedom Charter of Iran (scroll down for English language version) and help to bring the reign of the disgusting Ayatollahs to an end.

…the spike is due to an unhealthy factors…many of these risks have established links to cancer like obesity, inactivity, diabetes, alcohol, smoking, environmental pollution and Western diets high in red meat and added sugars, not to mention shift work and lack of sleep.
Not a single mention of chronic anxiety/stress/trauma which should be listed as the top contributor. @DrGaborMate please help them, your book should be required study… https://t.co/bV1EWvDnvn
Nationwide protests sparked by the death in custody of 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, are being lethally quashed by the Iranian authorities. Take action and call on the international community to set up an investigation mechanism. https://t.co/LhvFnnf9il
Mahsa Amini’s killing, and Iranian society’s response to it, should permanently alter how the outside world interacts with Iranian officials, @ksadjadpour writes in a guest opinion. https://t.co/FsfL1eU9mq
با توجه به کمپینی که بر علیه من در سایت فارس زدن و ۹۷ هزار نفر بر علیه من امضا جمع کردن ٫اینجا از شما سئوال میکنم :
ایا حمایت من از مردم سرزمینم اشتباه بوده؟
