Iran says it disabled Starlink terminals during January protests
Iranian authorities say they disabled Starlink satellite internet terminals that were in use during protests in January. The claim, reported by Anadolu Agency, points to Iran's continued efforts to control internet access during periods of unrest, since Starlink terminals have been used to bypass national internet restrictions. Officials did not detail how many terminals were affected or how the shutdown was carried out.
Why now: Iran's admission highlights its internet censorship practices during unrest and its conflict with satellite services like Elon Musk's Starlink.
