Title
Iran Is Aiming To Use Chinese Technology To Permanently Throttle Internet Access
Abstract
A senior Iranian official says Tehran has imported Chinese equipment to support a “permanent” internet shutdown, as the country’s unprecedented blackout enters its third month. Experts say Iran's censorship model is cheaper than the Chinese version and easier to replicate for other states.
