Iran: why cutting off the Internet connection is the best “weapon” against protest

This is one of the most effective weapons against protest: cutting off the Internet. Iran, affected by a monster mobilization in the street after the death of the young Mahsa Amini, while she was in the hands of the morality police, has once again experienced it. On several occasions in recent hours, Internet access has been cut in the country. “There have been temporary restrictions at certain places and certain times,” the Minister of Communications acknowledged on Wednesday. He had explained a little earlier that Internet access could be interrupted for “security reasons”, before denying having made these remarks.
