As Iran’s Internet blackout goes past 50 days, some Iranians will be able to connect – with limitations.
Most of the country’s 90-million citizens have been without international Internet access since the US-Israel-Iran war began on 28 February.
Iranians do have access to a domestic Internet that is under surveillance and kept separate from global sites.
So, although easing restrictions means that most citizens can now use Google for searches, they are mostly not able to open the actual sites that come up.
But soon professors and researchers will be able to connect freely to international sites that meet censorship criteria.
