Activists in Iran have invested years in preparation for a potential communications blackout, focusing on strategies to maintain connectivity amidst government-imposed restrictions.
In their efforts, they have smuggled in Starlink satellite internet systems, which are designed to circumvent traditional internet infrastructure vulnerable to shutdowns. This initiative aims to undermine the authorities' ability to enforce digital blackouts.
These measures reflect the activists' commitment to ensuring communication remains accessible, despite challenges posed by government control over the internet.
