Iran plans permanent disconnection from global internet, activists say
Iran is planning a permanent disconnection from the global internet, turning free online access into a state privilege reserved only for individuals verified by the regime, according to digital rights activists.
The majority of the population will only have access to a "national internet", closed and monitored, while the current internet shutdown, initiated after anti-regime protests, is one of the longest and harshest in history.
Experts warn that such a breakaway is possible, but would have serious economic, cultural and political consequences for the Iranian authorities themselves.
