  .@amnesty is gravely concerned about Iranian authorities disrupting access to internet & mobile networks. We urge world leaders at the UN General Assembly to take urgent action pressuring Iranian authorities to stop killing and injuring more protesters under the cover of darkness…

  Fucking hell. Her name was Jîna. Jîna was a Kurd. Kurds are not Iranian. An oppressed Kurd, who was not allowed to go by her real Kurdish name - Jîna. Google the rest. https://twitter.com/...

  State-organised rallies are planned for tomorrow across Iran in response to days of protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in police custody. If history is any indication, Iranian authorities do this when they're confident they're in control of the situation.

  When a dictatorship feels the pressure from their people, what will the dictatorship do? They'll filter the internet and try to beat down the protests. Before Instagram was allowed, now it's filtered in Iran...

  WhatsApp and Instagram remain blocked in Iran and internet access is patchy. NetBlocks said yesterday Iran was experiencing its “most severe” internet restrictions since the deadly November 2019 protests. https://twitter.com/...

  While this shows how serious protests have gotten in Iran, it's absolutely terrifying to ponder what mass violations could be taking place in the country right now while its people are cut off from the outside world. Please keep tweeting & retweeting about Iran, be their voice ht…

  .@Meta, are you helping the totalitarian regime of the Islamic Republic suppress the people of #Iran? Did you intentionally disrupt @WhatsApp for users with numbers from Iran? Or could this be be the work of the Islamic Republic's infiltrators in Meta and @facebook? #Mahsa_Amini …

  Iranian women have been protesting, including burning their hijabs, and it seems as though the internet has been intentionally downed by the state. This sort of thing precedes massacres. They've done it before and it's likely happening again. 💔💔🤬🤬 https://twitter.com/...

  Instagram has removed my video about the murder of #MahsaAmini and telling the people of #Iran they are not alone. This video had 75k likes and over 1.8 million views. IG also doesn't allow me to appeal. This is from a VERIFIED account outside of Iran. @instagram @Meta https://tw…

  Some Iranian @WhatsApp users are reporting that numbers starting with the #Iran dialling code (+98) don't work even when they are abroad. Hey @Meta @facebook @MetaNewsEMEA, can you hear them? https://twitter.com/...

  This is very worrying. The last time Iran imposed an #Internetshutdown at least 300 people were killed by security forces. #مهسا_امینی https://twitter.com/...

  Then the rest of the world needs to keep saying her name. #MahsaAmini died aged 22 in police custody because she violated hijab regulations. Solidarity with all Iranians currently protesting. https://twitter.com/...

  Instagram and WhatsApp are now blocked in Iran. This is what the government does when it wants to kill people to shut down dissent. The blood of Iranian patriots who are fighting for their freedom is going to flow through the streets. #MahsaAmini https://twitter.com/...

  ℹ️ Update: Four protesters are reported killed in #Iran's Kurdish region as authorities open fire and impose a ~3.5 hour regional internet blackout. The incident follows partial disruptions in Tehran and other cities from Friday #Mahsa_Amini 📰 Report: https://netblocks.org/... ht…

  The internet in Iran has been shut down to prevent Iranians from exercising free speech but these accounts are still up: @khamenei_ir @IRIMFA_EN @Amirabdolahian @ir_rezaee @Twitter, now would be a good time to take these accounts down. #MahsaAmini https://twitter.com/...

  Due to the ongoing mass protests in Iran, the Islamic Republic has blocked access to Instagram, the main social media in Iran. Instagram is not only a place to share holiday photos or even political content, the incomes of millions of Iranians depend on this platform. https://twi…

  📱 Instagram, the most popular social media app in Iran, is now banned. An activist told me earlier this year: “Social media is our only hope for making changes here!.. Everything else is banned and now they are going to cut our only hope to be heard by the world.” #Mahsa_Amini

• @shayan86 Shayan Sardarizadeh on x

  Instagram was literally the last major social media platform that remained unblocked in Iran and was therefore widely popular, all the others have been blocked for years. Thankfully, most Iranians are adept at using VPNs and software that help them circumvent state filters. https…
