Somewhere in the country, a person with a smuggled Starlink terminal has it running and connected to a server. That connection is then shared (via VPN) with dozens of other customers.
People buy a VPN configuration that routs their traffic through this Starlink connection. They pay $5-10 per GB for access.
The regime is murdering people in the streets, executing women for showing hair and executing doctors for treating their victims, but CNN thinks the people are angry because of two-tier internet ?
In the US, there's a government shooting people in the streets, with jackbooted thugs operating with impunity in multiple cities, a leader who's started a war to try to drown our discussion of his pedophile tendencies, the highest court int he land has become nakedly partisan (and openly for sale), yet people are mad about the price of gas.
What an outsider thinks people should be mad about, and what they're actually mad about, are often two different things
An Iranian citizen probably ran out of toothpaste this morning and was angry about that.
So now, in your view, that mean "three things are true here" ?
NO.
Because some things, like state murder, so much more important than other things, like internet access and toothpaste, that it is sheer incompetence to put one in a headline and ignore the other.
No, the US was bombing the Islamic bastards who are murderously oppressing those people, and those people are calling for those attacks to restart so they can be freed from inhuman Islamic laws.

Really, CNN ?

Who writes this rubbish ?
I can feel your anger. It gives you focus, makes you stronger.
Be angry - incompetent journalism is a danger to us all.

Two things can be true.

The US is bombing those same people, including targeting schools and hospitals. Is internet service really the problem?
No, the US was bombing the Islamic bastards who are murderously oppressing those people, and those people are calling for those attacks to restart so they can be freed from inhuman Islamic laws.
