>As Iran’s internet blackout enters its 17th straight day, Majid-Reza Hariri, head of the Iran–China Chamber of Commerce, said merchants are now being allowed just 20 minutes of internet access per day, and only under the watch of a “supervisor.”
Requiring a physical “supervisor” while a businessman checks his email reflects the extreme level of state paranoia. This supervisor is typically a security or intelligence agent whose role is to ensure the merchant is doing nothing beyond business, such as sending protest footage, contacting activists, or using VPNs to bypass the “Halal Internet,” Iran’s domestic intranet.
