Iranska myndigheter hotar med rättsliga åtgärder för VPN-användning

Iranska tjänstemän skickar SMS-varningar till medborgare som kringgår internetrestriktioner. Meddelandena riktar sig mot de som använder VPN:er eller Starlink för att komma åt globalt webbinnehåll. Detta sker mitt i en nästintill total internetnedstängning i landet.

Iran har infört en nästintill total internetnedstängning, vilket fått många medborgare att använda virtuella privata nätverk (VPN:er) och Starlink för att återfå tillgång till den globala webben. Som svar har iranska myndigheter börjat skicka SMS-varningar till individer som upptäcks kringgå dessa blockeringar. The notifications explicitly threaten prosecution for using such tools. According to reports, the authorities are monitoring successful bypass attempts and alerting users directly via text messages. This escalation highlights ongoing efforts to enforce internet restrictions within Iran. The measures reflect broader controls on online access, though specific details on the blackout's duration or triggers remain limited in available information. No further official statements from Iranian officials were detailed in the coverage.
