NetBlocks, an independent organization monitoring global internet connectivity, has announced that the severe internet shutdown in Iran is still ongoing. These strict network restrictions have now entered their forty eighth day, lasting for more than one thousand hours overall.
According to the latest report from this organization, the economic damage caused by this digital blackout in Iran is estimated at approximately 1.8 billion dollars. NetBlocks described this level of censorship as completely unprecedented for a society that is highly connected to the internet.
This loss assessment was conducted using reliable economic indicators and evaluating the economy's dependence on the online space. The continuous internet disruption has had highly negative consequences on both business activities and citizens' human rights.
