The Treasury Department is issuing a general license for companies to bolster internet access to Iranians as Tehran cuts off internet access to its citizens while civil unrest takes the country by storm.
Under the new license, United States-based technology firms will be permitted to offer Iranians"more options of secure, outside platforms and services" to counter Tehran, which cut off most global internet access to its 80 million citizens on Wednesday.
While not as comprehensive as the 2019 restrictions, there have been stringent constraints placed on Instagram and WhatsApp, France 24 reported. Experts fear that curbing internet access could enable Iran to embark on a bloody crackdown concealed from the rest of the world. Massive protests and unrest have taken Iran by storm during the past week, following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini on Sept. 16. Amini was apprehended by Iranian authorities for allegedly breaching Tehran's strict dress code for women.
