In an interview with FRANCE 24, Iranian women's rights activist and journalist Masih Alinejad said Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei "is scared of" US President Donald Trump and called for the Iranian leader's targeted killing. "Kill Ali Khamenei the way that you kill[ed] Qassem Soleimani," she said, referring to the US assassination of the top Iranian commander in 2020 during Trump's first term in office.

Iran’s protests have spread to more than 25 provinces, transforming what began as local economic unrest into a nationwide challenge to the Islamic government’s survival.

Iran’s protests have spread across provinces, despite skepticism and concern among ethnic groups

The demands of Iran’s ethnic minorities differ from many of those in Tehran, and they have reason to fear the return of the Pahlavi monarchy.

I fear it is a lot higher considering the source

Machine gunning your own people, your own flesh and blood, your young, the future of the country

For what?

The vanity of old cruel men

So #Iran has chosen the #TiananmenSquare route. Unlike #China though there is no economic rocketship coming that quells dissent. So there will only be more blood

How social media is channeling popular discontent in Iran during ongoing period of domestic unrest

Information is still getting out despite an almost total internet blackout, especially with the help of diaspora groups. That poses a big problem for the government.

A large number of Iranians living in Europe gathered in several countries on January 11 and 12 to show solidarity with protesters inside Iran.

Organizers in Germany, the UK, Ireland, Italy, Denmark, Italy, and Finland condemned the suppression and killing of protesters and the internet blackout by the Islamic Republic, and shouted the demands of the protesters.

Landesweite Internetsperre im Iran: Mit "Snowflake" kann man Menschen Netzzugang ermöglichen

Landesweite Internetsperre im Iran: Mit "Snowflake" kann man Menschen Netzzugang ermöglichen

How can a country without an anti-circumvention law handle its first trade-deal with USA?

Inspired by Cory Doctorow's Post-American Internet proposition [1], I'm thinking of the day when Iran's theocratic government falls, and the new political system starts normal economical relationship with the world.

Not only #Iran does not have any kind of anti-circumvention law, it is the biggest economy that is not a signatory to the Bern convention on copyright. Nevertheless, it has a relatively advanced and self-sufficient domestic IT world, with services for maps, video streaming, cloud services, finance, ride hailing, etc. At some point in 2021 ArvanCloud, an Iranian IT company, was the 8th highest-traffic CDN in the world.

So how would you build the almost-non-existent outward-facing economy of a big country, without falling into the usual trap of #enshittification?

Your ideas are very welcome. I would very much also like to know what Cory @pluralistic thinks about this :)
