Internet watchdog NetBlocks revealed that officials blocked access to Meta Platforms on a Wednesday amid protests over the death of a woman in custody, residents and the internet
The death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini last week, who was arrested by the vice squad in Tehran for ‘inappropriate clothing’, has sparked anger over issues of freedom in the Islamic Republic and an economy teetering from sanctions.
NetBlocks also reported a “national loss of connectivity” on Iran’s mobile phone provider and another company’s network.
WhatsApp’s servers have been disrupted on multiple ISPs hours after Instagram’s services were blocked, London-based NetBlocks said.
The group’s data shows that internet service in parts of Kurdistan province in western Iran has been almost completely disrupted since Monday, while the capital Tehran and other parts of the country have also experienced disruptions since Friday, when the protests broke out for the first time.
Two residents of Tehran and southern Iran said they could only send text and not photos on WhatsApp and Instagram appeared to be completely blocked.
