Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted September 24, 2022 Posted September 24, 2022 No idea where this is leading but hopefully the people of Iran can overthrow that monstrous regime and install another democracy in this world. The US says it will ease internet curbs on Iran to counter Tehran's clampdown on protests which were sparked by a woman's death in police custody. "We are going to help make sure the Iranian people are not kept isolated and in the dark," said US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. The relaxation of software controls will allow American tech firms to expand their business in Iran. The US treasury said the move would help counter the Iranian government's attempt to "surveil and censor" its people. But it is unlikely to have an immediate impact as it "does not remove every tool of communications repression". Billionaire Elon Musk said on Twitter that he would activate his satellite internet firm, Starlink, to provide internet services to Iran in response to Mr Blinken's announcement. Starlink provides internet services via a huge network of satellites and is aimed at people who live in remote areas who cannot get high-speed internet. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-63013359
