Taking a deeper look at ASN traffic curves for the partial restoration earlier today (beginning 06:24 UTC/9:54am local). #DigitalBlackoutIran #IranianRevolution2026

If you have ever read a 📰 frontline account from the civil war in Myanmar, the Women Life Freedom protests in Iran, or Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, you may have only seen it because of Outline.
Since 2018, Jigsaw’s Outline technology has been a vital lifeline, empowering over 30 million people to access the open internet and share information freely each month.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

Large Internet outage in Iran today.
Distinct drops in traffic levels for the two largest traffic destinations (AS58224 and AS44244) at 07:29, 08:46, and 10:49 UTC.
CEO of state operator TIC says the disruption was caused by the loss of a "European route."

Our new study shows a significant, ongoing decline in VPN apps on Apple's Russia App Store—well beyond the 25 removals officially reported. This highlights the urgent need for transparency from both Roskomnadzor and Apple. #Censorship #DigitalRights #VPN
