First time I see #Mastodon mentioned in my French journal #LeMonde, with a link to a Mastodon post like they normally do for twitter!

In this case they link to this post from @netblocks about internet cuts in Iran:

Link to the original article: lemonde.fr/international/live/


Topic is the war on Iran.. #IranWar

Screenshot of a "live news" saying "09:22 L’accĂšs Ă  Internet en Iran reste « autour de 1 % de son niveau habituel » L’accĂšs Ă  Internet en Iran est « autour de 1 % de son niveau habituel », alors qu’une coupure des communications provoquĂ©e par la guerre avec IsraĂ«l et les Etats-Unis entre dans son cinquiĂšme jour, a annoncĂ© l’ONG de surveillance de la cybersĂ©curitĂ© NetBlocks. « La coupure d’Internet en Iran dĂ©passe dĂ©sormais les 120 heures, la connectivitĂ© restant toujours autour de 1 % de son niveau habituel », a Ă©crit NetBlocks sur Mastodon. « ParallĂšlement, un environnement de plus en plus orwellien Ă©merge, les opĂ©rateurs tĂ©lĂ©coms menaçant d’actions en justice les utilisateurs qui tentent de se connecter Ă  l’Internet mondial », a-t-elle ajoutĂ©."

⚠ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has now exceeded 120 hours with connectivity still flatlining around 1% of ordinary levels.

Meanwhile, an increasingly Orwellian environment is emerging as telcos threaten users who try to connect to the global internet with legal action.

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from February 24, 2026, to March 5, 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity normal most of the time period, with a sharp drop on the morning of February 28. The drop in connectivity aligns with nation-scale internet blackout imposed during joint military strikes by the US and Israel. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN', indicates the period of disruption and includes the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner.

Indeed, @lemonde is the main one I think! But they don't really interact, only post about their articles, as far as I've seen..

That's already great? I wouldn't really expect an official account to interact?
