Iran has been under a total internet blackout for 60 hours.

We saw this happen in Nepal.

We are seeing it happen in Iran. There are rumors that it will happen in Uganda depending on the election results.

And I feel we will see it happen in several other places.

When leaders feel threatened, they do everything to contain their population. And almost always this means some level of restrictions on information and social networks.

Iran cut off its population's internet on Thursday to deal with the ongoing Revolution, leaving MILLIONS of people without access.

The few remaining connections are coming from Starlinks, whose "shutdown" is not so SIMPLE.

In both Nepal and Iran, the Bitchat app – which allows communication between people nearby without internet – is also being widely used.

When governments seek to isolate their population to contain their insurgency, technologies become true treasures in the fight for freedoms.

Fighting against such technologies is literally fighting against the only tools that guarantee people some power when things get really bad.
