Elon Musk Makes Starlink Free in Iran to Bypass Blackouts

#Tehran, #Iran
Elon Musk made Starlink service free in Iran to help protesters bypass government-mandated internet blackouts and share footage of the ongoing crackdown.Iranian authorities responded by jamming signals, raiding homes for satellite dishes, and threatening imprisonment for users of the smuggled terminals.The death toll from the civil unrest exceeded 2500 people as the satellite network prevented the regime from enforcing a total information blockade.
