MARTIN: So how did that happen? Like, why is it that way? And is this related to U.S. So what that means is that they can control what the Iranian people can see and hear, not just about what's going on in Iran, but what's going on in the wider world as well. So the Iranian authorities have the ability to cut off users' access to the global internet and just provide them with domestic networks. Instead of Google Cloud in Iran, Iranians have something called the National Information Network, and it has what amounts to an internet off switch. So that means the government has a whole host of ways to control the internet itself just by controlling mobile phone communications. RASTON: Well, so the first thing you need to know is that most Iranians connect to the internet through their mobile phones. How is it different and how did that happen? MARTIN: So, Dina, one of the fascinating things I learned from your piece is that Iran's internet is not the same internet known by people in the U.S. She spoke with some protesters about how they're getting around the government's attempts to control the narrative. To try to make it harder for people on the ground to organize, authorities have rolled out high-tech tools to limit mobile phone connections, to block social media sites and cut demonstrators off from the rest of the world.ĭina Temple-Raston is the host of "Click Here," a podcast about all things cyber and intelligence. And that crackdown is being felt online, too. Dozens are estimated to have been killed so far in the fierce government crackdown. Mahsa, also known by her Kurdish name, Jina, died in police custody after being arrested for violating Iran's strict Islamic dress code. Protests in Iran over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini have reached their fourth week.
