کارزاری برای اعتراض به دخالت دولت و تبدیل فضای آنلاین ��ه «پادگان دیجیتال» راه افتاد و بعد همون‌هایی که مخاطب اعتراض بودن، حذفش کردن. ظاهرا اعتراض به پادگان دیجیتال هم باید به تایید خود فرماندهان پادگان برسه.

Four of my friends had their homes partially or completely destroyed during the war.
Now, in the ceasefire, I’ve lost count of those who became jobless because of the internet shutdown and are selling their belongings just to survive.

بات‌های طرفدار جمهوری اسلامی با متن‌هایی که هوش‌مصنوعی تولید می‌کنه فعال شدن. همدیگه رو تایید می‌کنن. ادبیاتشون بسیار جنریک و تابلوئه. تاریخ عضویتشون بیش از ده ساله و لوکیشن آمریکا. توییت‌های خاصی رو هم ریتوییت می‌کنن. حواستون باشه توی دامشون نیفتید.

The internet is down and news is scarce, but the disaster continues. A well-informed friend in Iran says some injured on Jan 8–9 and in February are now dying or losing limbs due to poor treatment. I asked February? He said those shot while celebrating Khamenei’s death.

Cheap fuel isn’t cheap,
It’s Iranian blood in your tank.
Go on, enjoy your freedom.

These accounts, often from South Asia and supportive of the Islamic Republic use AI-generated images to monetize impressions. The misinformation market is booming.

29 days into the blackout in Iran. Regime continues to cut internet, disrupt phone calls and jam satellite TV.

[Mersen @thisisMersen]

While the country is at war, Iranians at home and abroad are suffering from a digital blackout imposed by the Islamic Republic. Lives, livelihoods, and mental health are being held hostage just to prolong its rule.

LARIJANI UPDATE: It's true. An Iranian official sent a very short message to an
@iranwire
reporter who asked about Larijani's death: It is true... The government hasn't announced it yet. But, if true, it's the start of the most chaotic phase of post-Khamenei Iran. The regime has lost one of the most influential and ruthlessly efficient insiders. Let's remember that it was Ali Larijani who masterminded the January 2026 massacre on Ayatollah Khamenei's orders, and he was in charge of post-Iran-Iraq War (1980-88) propaganda for more than a decade.

They invite Marandi as a "university professor" then place a large Press TV logo right behind him. Shame.

[Mersen @thisisMersen]

What media are doing on Iran is shameful. Inviting Islamic Republic propagandists normalizes repression by treating them as "views worth hearing". Those who crush free expression in Iran don’t deserve a platform. The truth is clear: the internet was cut and people were killed.

Watch how terrorists are attacking people in Iran

[Vahid Online @Vahid]

Received footage from '#Tehran': Government forces armed with guns, batons, and more attacking civilians who sought shelter in a building, along with the brave effort of one citizen trying to block repressive thugs from entering.

Fight back

[Mersen @thisisMersen]

My mom’s message “We’re fine, don’t worry about us” had to travel halfway around the world due to the internet shutdown in Iran. It was passed through 4people before it finally reached me.
Honestly, I’m counting the days until I see the Iranian officials fall flat on their faces.

Everything is strangely complex; that's why neither happiness nor sorrow holds true meaning anymore.

[Mersen @thisisMersen]

I'm going to visit my family after two years. The recent months have been a relentless battle of soul and self, and I ready myself to wear the mask once more, an old armor for a world that values illusions over the scars beneath.
