Iran\u2019s regime wants to restrict internet access<\/sub><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Several reports have come to light in recent weeks about the internet <\/a>speed in Iran dropping dramatically, severely disrupting the daily lives of millions of Iranians. The Iranian regime\u2019s Minister of Information and Communications Technology claimed that the cause of the issue was merely a problem with the infrastructure and put the blame on the previous administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this is far from the truth. Some technology analysts, and some state-media outlets, have suggested that the real cause is a deliberate act by the regime under their \u2018Cyberspace Users Rights Protection\u2019 plan, their internet censorship bill that was passed a few months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 22, news broke containing further proof of the regime\u2019s plan to restrict access to internet services in Iran, as a new bill was approved by a subcommittee of the Majlis (parliament). The bill is now expected to be delivered to the parliament\u2019s executive branch to be implemented fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
