IRN // The #Iran #shutdown ran for over 400 days. However, what most do not appreciate is the precise control Iran has over its internet.
Here, we detail a few of the online, remotely reachable IP address locations in our data during the shutdown.
-> A site of the Islamic Republican Army, major squares and gathering locations for protestors are among the sites we find, suggesting that internet-connected CCTV towers were crucial to the regime's information.
