It’s honestly heartbreaking. The internet in Iran has been shut down for 76 days, yet hardly anyone talks about it or seems to care.

How do they get online?
working hard to have off grid comunications, i will not stop working. Love & admiration!
Obviously it doesn't directly affect those of us who are not in Iran. But that doesn't mean we're not interested. I have had some contact with a friend in Tehran, but am interested to know more broadly what Iranians are experiencing and saying about it (and everything else).
Please give us some insight. Where are you, how are you communicating, what's the sentiment, how well is Bitcoin performing, etc?
If you show you're loyal to the Khamenei, internet access is easier to get.

Did you get it back?
Thanks for sharing. I didn't even know that and I follow several medias everyday.
This is the path
Maybe they use VPNs
If the Iranians cared, they wouldn't be in this situation.
Wonder if this will ever happen in the USA
FWIW, I've heard about it many times in the last few days.
I'm sorry, Pegah ☹️
And yet, Iranian streets are full of people waving flags in support of the regime with no signs of revolutionary spirit. 🤔
Be wary of randos online claiming to be Iranian, especially on nostr. Plenty of war propaganda being curated by the Shirtless Retards from Primal recently.
Especially be wary of "Iranians" that put all the blame on their government without acknowledging US/Israel's roles in facilitating it.
Id imagine anybody who is ACTUALLY Iranian would have an opinion on that matter
Attempt 2?

I agree. Here in the U.S. people whine about high prices. THAT's what will end this war for them, NOT the fact that the Iranian people live under a repressive regime. I don't know where to begin with how broken our world is.
By design. Also by design most of us don't necessarily believe she is really Iranian in Iran because the liars, bots, and paid propagandists outnumber the real Iranians we run into 10:1 or more.
Western Media is throwing a blanket over this and Iranian's can't really complain about this online without internet!
Almost 3 months damn!
How many days before Americans would riot for their internet access?
Pegah has been here on nostr since long before the current unpleasantness
And then she was activated lol
She could just be an ignorant useful idiot, but smells like "war by deception" to me
whatever bro
iranians have internet access, the access is limited but they have s robust intranet that doesnt connect to certain propaganda filled sites like youtube, or things co nected to google where bots thrive.
Im surprised I havent seen her say "47 years" lol
Exactly. I'm not going to say with 100% that she's a plant, but she behaves like one with her opinions that only seem to reflect those of the US and Israel, like most Iranian women online with lesbian haircuts
As in any country you can get opposing views, counter narratives etc. like Efrat israeli but very critical and suspicious of the gov, oct 7th etc. with the stand down orders and no patrols.. there are also in Iran pro and contra. Either way Pegah is risking her neck in a war zone by even taking that view in a place where there is no free speech..
People are immune because we have information overload.
People in Iran will learn to use VPNs just like people in China.
It's crazy that you are complaining about your privilege, you have a domestic internet, that's a privilege.
Needing a VPN to connect to the global internet is an inconvenience sure, but then so to are the bombs being dropped on your neighbours right?
Honestly you are starting to seem like a fake identity.
You live in Iran, you have no problem connecting to the internet, and yet you are complaining about Iranians having an extra privilege as if having your own domestic internet is bad.
And you're not complaining about the USA and Israeli bombs being dropped around you? 🤔
Seriously?
Because Iran has their own domestic internet connecting to the global internet requires a VPN.
Essentially the same as China or at other country with domestic internet.
Zapping nice
Thanks, yes. I'm well aware of these types. Some of them even have podcasts that they broadcast from the USA. @Efrat Fenigson had a slightly convincing conversation with one of them recently.
I may be wrong, but I don't think @Pegah is one of them.
Perhaps - which is one reason I want to hear what she has to say. I'm not stupid enough to believe anything at face value, but without hearing, it is very difficult to discern.
Just before the invasion started, I spoke to my friend in Tehran, who is definitely not a "plant". He was quite excited by the impending bombardment, because of course, his view of the world is also shaped by propaganda (like all of us). Rrading between the lines of the conversation, he clearly held the idea that the USA was going to "liberate" Iran, and that all the sanctions would be lifted, so that he'd be able to engage in business with foreign consultants. I was surprised, but knowing that our comms were being monitored, I didn't let on how wrong I thought he was. I let it go, and have had subsequent comms just to check that he and his family are ok.
Each if us sees the world differently.
@rany thoughts?
Can they connect to Tor?
She never bothered to contribute to a meshnet. For months she comes here complaining about the situation. Each and every time we remind her that there are ways to change things, which needs PoW. At this point I doubt she cares about changing the status quo.
Starting to observe a pattern here...
Glad you’re okay friend
But you can't even access the 'domestic internet' so how do you utilize a vpn?
You need initial internet access even if your gonna route the traffic through a different country(laymen VPN explination).
🤔 well i guess its not that important for you guys
That's nothing. Just wait till you see what happens to the poor schmuck living in the western world after the false flag.
