400 hours.

⚠️ Update: 20 full days after #Iran imposed a national internet blackout, most ordinary users still face heavy filtering and intermittent service under a whitelist system despite a significant increase in internationally visible networks and datacenters.

🗓️ Exactly three weeks ago #Iran imposed a national internet blackout to obscure civilian killings. Whitelisting and heavy filtering are still in effect. The incident is among the most severe of its kind on record, exceeded in duration only during civil war in Myanmar and Sudan.

⚠️ Update: With #Iran's internet shutdown approaching day 20, many networks are becoming visible internationally. HOWEVER: 📵 No return to usual: Web still heavily filtered on a whitelist basis. 🔧 Circumvention still needed: The opening of protocols can enable new workarounds.

@netblocks still no news after 20 days

ℹ️ Note: Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) is currently experiencing international outages; incident not related to country-level internet disruptions or filtering #TwitterDown

📺 The BBC cancelled almost all TV and radio interviews on #Iran's internet blackout they'd scheduled or suggested changing topic to other outages. With huge respect to BBC journos, this wastes human rights monitors' time, hasn't happened in past crises, and needs investigation.

🗓️ It's Friday evening in #Iran where internet remains heavily filtered 22 full days after the blackout as whitelisting and intermittent connectivity continue to limit Iranians' contact with the outside world. Networks are visible internationally but broadly restricted.

There are two reasons for the blackout: 1. Stop communication between HRH Reza Pahlavi and the nation of Iran 2. Genocide & massacre of Iranians.

@theearthbureau2 @netblocks I live in iran too We dont have internet connection For 2 weeks we couldn’t even send sms to each other After that with changing several vpns configs and… You might can have a very weak connection

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout continues in its third week despite a brief momentary restoration of international connectivity around hour 375. Online platforms are occasionally whitelisted and some users have been able to tunnel out over the last couple of days.

“The internet is that last shred of hope because, in the darkness of a blackout, anything can happen and nobody will know.” In #Iran's digital darkness it's unlikely anyone really knows what damage the regime has wrought. 🖋️@fintan_03 / The Sunday Times https://t.co/mCHMui6jtU

⚠️ Confirmed: Metrics show a drop in internet connectivity in #Ukraine, also impacting #Moldova, corroborating energy company Ukrenergo's statement detailing a system-wide power emergency involving the disconnection of high-voltage international transmission lines 🔌

@netblocks Among Iranians, the @BBCWorld @BBCNews is widely known as “Ayatollah BBC.” #AyatollahBBC . Their coverage strongly supported Khomeini in 1979, and afterward they softened the regime’s propaganda, repackaged it, and presented it as unbiased reporting. @bbcpersian often feels like

Did @netblocks stop publishing new reports the moment Israel started regularly cutting the internet in Gaza? Is NetBlocks just no longer posting to its website, or did NetBlocks really just stop producing reports when Israel began regularly cutting internet to Gaza?

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout continues through its 18th day, obscuring the extent of a deadly crackdown on civilians. Meanwhile, gaps in the filternet are being tightened to limit circumvention while whitelisted regime accounts promote the Islamic Republic's narrative.

You will not understand the deprivation of Iranian freedom until your phone screen is full of these VPNs.😔 #Free_Internet @netblocks

..turning points in history and so it began

@netblocks @fintan_03 My people still don’t have internet. They struggle to connect, even with VPNs! #DigitalBlackoutIran #FreeIran #Iran
