NetBlocks: Iran still faces internet filtering three months after shutdown

Internet monitoring organisation NetBlocks said Iran continues to impose heavy online filtering restrictions three months after authorities shut off access to the global internet.

In a statement posted on X, NetBlocks said connectivity has “largely returned,” but users are still experiencing significant filtering measures similar to restrictions imposed earlier this year, Caliber.Az reports.
