Internet use in Iran began in 1995 at universities, then spread quickly via internet cafes to an otherwise isolated population with limited access to independent sources of news and entertainment. The government's censorship of the medium did not begin until 2001, but users today operate in an environment that features filtering of content—particularly domestically produced political news and analysis—together with intimidation, detention, and torture of bloggers, online journalists, and cyberactivists. As with restrictions on press freedom that date to the early days of the 1979 revolution, the Islamic Republic couches its restrictions on internet freedom in an opaque and arbitrary conception of Islamic morality outlined by the constitution, the press law, and the penal code. Obstacles to Access While the number of internet and mobile-phone users continues to grow, state-imposed and other infrastructural restrictions significantly constrain Iranians' ability to fully access these technologies and related applications.

    Dimming the Internet Detecting Throttling as a Mechanism of Censorship in Iran Collin Anderson? [email protected] Abstract. In the days immediately following the contested June 2009 Presidential election, Iranians attempting to reach news content and so- cial media platforms were subject to unprecedented levels of the degra- dation, blocking and jamming of communications channels. Rather than shut down networks, which would draw attention and controversy, the government was rumored to have slowed connection speeds to rates that would render the Internet nearly unusable, especially for the consump- tion and distribution of multimedia content. Since, political upheavals elsewhere have been associated with headlines such as \High usage slows down Internet in Bahrain" and \Syrian Internet slows during Friday protests once again," with further rumors linking poor connectivity with political instability in Myanmar and Tibet. For governments threatened by public expression, the throttling of Internet connectivity appears to be an increasingly preferred and less detectable method of stifling the free flow of information. In order to assess this perceived trend and begin to create systems of accountability and transparency on such practices, we attempt to outline an initial strategy for utilizing a ubiquitious set of network measurements as a monitoring service, then apply such method- ology to shed light on the recent history of censorship in Iran. Keywords: censorship, national Internet, Iran, throttling, M-Lab 1 Introduction "Prison is like, there's no bandwidth." - Eric Schmidt1 The primary purpose of this paper is to assess the validity of claims that the international connectivity of information networks used by the Iranian public has been subject to substantial throttling based on a historical and correlated set of open measurements of network performance.

National Web Studies: Mapping Iran Online Abstract This work offers an approach to conceptualizing, demarcating and analyzing a national web. Instead of defining a priori the types of websites to be included in a national web, the approach put forward here makes use of web devices (platforms and engines) that purport to provide (ranked) lists of URLs relevant to a particular country. Once gathered in such a manner, the websites are studied for their properties, following certain of the common measures (such as responsiveness and page age), and repurposing them to speak in terms of the health of a national web: Are sites lively, or neglected? The case study in question is Iran, which is special for the degree of Internet censorship undertaken by the state. Despite the widespread censorship, we have found a highly responsive Iranian web. We also report on the relationship between blockage, responsiveness and freshness, i.e., whether blocked sites are still up, and also whether they have been recently updated.

  • Iranian Internet Infrastructure and Policy
    SMALL MEDIA IRANIAN INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE AND POLICY REPORT // February - March 2013 // www.smallmedia.org.uk This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License 2 INTRODUCTION // When we began work on the Internet Infrastructure and Policy Report series late last year, our ambition was to document the rich technical and political complexities of Iran’s com- munications environment, which are often missed due to language, nuance and diffusion of sources. Although public reports often focus on the battles between the censors and Facebook, or the Cyber Army and reformist sites, these narratives often pass over the meaningful role of administrative entities, conservative factions and private individuals in the complex polity and security of the domestic network. We believed then that we can better predict the future when the motivations of these actors are better understood. There is no better affirmation of this than the timing of the February edition of this series, were we noted, “When Supreme Council of Cyberspace promotes new policies on the registration of VPNs, we can expect that unregistered VPN connection will be blocked and throttled.” Released on March 8, within hours Iranian Internet users began to report that outbound VPN connections and other anti-filter tools were no longer working. After several years of discour- aging public use of circumvention tools and direct threats of blocking, including brief periods of actual disruption, it appears that to the agencies administering Iran’s censorship policies the balance between control and development no longer favors the free flow of information over the Internet.

Im Informationszeitalter und im Zuge des Globalisierungsprozesses, in welchem die Welt mehr denn je zusammenrückt und die Bezugnahme der Kulturen intensiver geworden ist, sind die Auswirkungen "fremder" Kulturen auf die "eigene" und umgekehrt stärker denn je. Die Welt ist in der Tat "kleiner" und "überschau barer" geworden. Allerdings: je enger die Welt zusammenrückt und die Homogenisierung und Verwestlichung, insbesondere Amerikanisierung der Kulturen durch die technologische Entwicklung und den • verbreiteten Einsatz neuer I&K-Technologien vorangetrieben wird, verstärkt sich auf der anderen Seite eine Kraft zu Dezentralismus, Inhomogenität sowie eine Tendenz zur Rückkehr zu lokalen kulturellen Werten. Auf der anderen Seite ist es der Fundamentalismus und die Rückkehr zu den Traditionen und dem religiösen Glauben, die keine Affinität mit dem Leben im 21.

The present study was conducted to determine the relationship of supportive roles with mental health and satisfaction with life in female household heads using a structural equations model. Methods: The present descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 286 eligible female household heads in Karaj, Iran, in 2020, who were selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected using VAX social support, the perceived social support scale, the general health questionnaire (GHQ), and the satisfaction with life questionnaire plus a socio-demographic checklist, and were analyzed in SPSS-16 and Lisrel-8.8. Results: The participants’ mean age was 43.1±1.7 years. According to the path analysis results, satisfaction with life had the highest direct positive relationship with perceived social support (B=0.33) and the highest indirect positive relationship with age (B=0.13) and the highest direct and indirect positive relationship with education and social support (B=0.13).
