Milan, 17 January (LaPresse) – Iran is planning to abandon the Internet altogether, allowing only individuals controlled by the regime to connect online. This was reported by The Guardian, citing Iranian digital rights activists. ‘A confidential plan is underway to turn international Internet access into a “government privilege”,’ according to a report by Filterwatch, an organisation that monitors Internet censorship in Iran, citing several sources in the country. ‘State media and government spokespeople have already signalled that this is a permanent change, warning that unrestricted access will not return after 2026,’ the report continues.
