Starlink Provides Internet Access During Iran’s Blackout

As Iran’s internet blackout enters its second week, Starlink satellite internet has become essential for citizens seeking to connect with the outside world, despite government efforts to disrupt it. Activists are creatively using the service, while protests against the regime intensify amidst reports of over 2,500 deaths. The Iranian government has sought to block Starlink through various means, but the technology remains crucial for communication. Starlink’s parent company, SpaceX, has adapted its service to help users in Iran, further complicating the government’s censorship efforts.
