I wasn't sure how much to believe about the protests in Iran, but I wonder if internet shutdowns confirm that something wild is going on there.

I wonder if internet shutdowns confirm that something wild is going on there.

Our news feeds must be very different. My YT feed has been flooded with vids about protests in Iran and how the regime may soon fall for the last 3 days or so.

I have seen a lot of videos. I'm just kinda at the point where videos don't count for very much when it comes to evaluating truth. I think it wouldn't be hard for someone to make a very small protest seem like something nationwide as far as what shows up online (or the opposite, really).

True. I was a bit suspicious of the real scale too. I suppose the internet shutdown confirms that things are pretty serious over there

that is why i normally just stay out of things that happen far away and i have no control over. it is so hard to tell what is the truth and what not...

Isn't it interesting how NetBlocks' alerts are a really good indicator of trouble? Saves a Stratfor subscription.

Will be interesting to see if the global hashrate goes down because of this.

I would think it is a very good indicator of the government ramping up the pressure.

No better way to get people out in the streets then forcing them to get off their screens.

Another "democratization" operation by US agencies... its all on a pattern now.
All is a psyop following the all time procedure: problem - reaction - solution.

The only way to stop these stupid and tyrannical operations is to stop funding and supporting US gov and any other gov.
