160+ hours. 93 million people cut off.
The internet is being weaponized to hide the most brutal and widespread state violence that Iran has ever seen and silence civilians.
Despite the blackout, Iranians are risking their lives to be seen and heard.

During Iran's uprising, the regime's most effective weapon isn't just AI manipulation but the accusation itself.

Within hours of protests erupting on 28 December, regime-aligned accounts began dismissing authentic images as "AI slop." They introduced manipulated content through fake opposition personas, then amplified their own "exposés" to cast doubt on real documentation.

There's a term for this: "the liar's dividend". When any image can be dismissed as possibly synthetic, those in power no longer need to suppress speech. They only need to raise questions that undermine belief in shared reality.

Through 's Deepfake Rapid Response Force, we've been validating legitimate human rights documentation that's been falsely tagged as AI. We're tracking coordinated disinformation campaigns whilst human rights organisations work to accurately count the dead.

On 8 January, Iran imposed a total internet and communication blackout. Many Iranians abroad are still struggling to hear from their loved ones in Iran. The information fog has thickened to near impenetrability, death toll estimates struggle to come out in this fog with most estimates capturing upwards of 12,000 murdered protesters.

My new piece in examines how doubt has become a weapon in Iran, and what happens when shared standards of proof collapse. Much work to be done to invest in the systems to ensure truth comes to the fore.

Today is day 7 of the regime’s internet blackout in Iran. Enabling direct-to-cell satellite internet is possible and would restore basic internet access for millions of Iranians, bypassing the regime. Tag and call your congressional reps.
What happens when AI-generated content becomes so common that real evidence can be dismissed as fake? 😵‍💫

In an interview with &, (Associate Director of the Technology Threats & Opportunities program at WITNESS) speaks about how the abundance of AI-generated content has allowed bad actors to deny authentic videos, images, and recordings simply by claiming they were AI-generated.

This erosion of trust undermines the shared reality that democracy, accountability, and justice depend on.

🚨 Iran’s internet blackout has entered its fourth day.
Connectivity remains at just 1% of normal levels. For over 76 hours, millions have been silenced cut off from the world, unable to access information or contact loved ones.
This is not a technical failure.
It’s a deliberate act of repression.
They shut down the internet to suppress dissent and to kill without witnesses.Reports say more than 3,500 innocent people have.The world must not stay silent. #iranprotests #digitalblackoutiran #iranprotest2026
گوشی شما می‌تواند مستقیماً با ماهواره‌ها ارتباط برقرار کند. بدون نیاز به دیش. بدون نیاز به دکل مخابراتی.
این تکنولوژی می‌تواند همین حالا قطعی اینترنت در ایران را دور بزند، اما هنوز فعال نشده است.
در این پست توضیح داده‌ایم که چرا این اتفاق نمی‌افتد و چه چیزی باید تغییر کند. ➡️

Your phone can talk directly to satellites. No dish. No cell tower.

This technology could bypass Iran’s internet shutdown right now, but it’s not being activated.

Here’s why, and what needs to change. ➡️
#IranProtests #Iran
I went on Al Jazeera last night (day 13) to discuss internet shutdowns in Iran. What concerned me was the framing: reliance on Tehran-based reporting that echoed state narratives, reduced the protests to economic discontent, and failed to reflect verified evidence of security force violence or the anti-regime demands coming from the streets.

I don’t know who Al Jazeera’s Iranian reporter in Tehran is. It’s not about who he is personally but about how authoritarian constraints shape what reporting is possible -that correspondent cannot do independent reporting whether he wants to or not. Al Jazeera should be transparent about this. I tried to push back during the interview. #iranprotests
24 hours since the regime in #Tehran cut off internet access and began jamming #STARLINK signals across #Iran, an attempt to block protests from spreading and silence the flow of videos exposing their brutality.
This is not just censorship. It’s a weapon of repression used to isolate protesters and blind the world to the violence unfolding on the ground.

But this blackout isn’t merely about silencing dissent. It’s about creating a shield for bloodshed.
By severing digital lifelines and jamming satellite signals, the regime is erasing witnesses. They know that in the dark, they can detain, torture, and kill without consequence. This isn’t a defensive measure. It’s a calculated strategy to escalate violence behind a wall of silence, hidden from global scrutiny.

“This isn’t a protest, this is a revolution.”
